What is SecureDrop?

The SecureDrop system on Mediapart is a secure means for our readers to safely and discretely submit information for the attention of our team of investigative journalists. It provides heightened security, and a guarantee of anonymity, for those who may wish to send a large volume of sensitive documents.

The SecureDrop system on Mediapart uses the Tor browser, which is designed to encrypt your communications and to hide the IP address of your computer.

If you want to make rapid, direct contact with our investigative team, also in a secure manner and with a relatively small volume of documents, you can use the following email address: enquete@mediapart.fr
