Starting today, you can once again submit your confidential documents and secrets to WikiLeaks anonymously, without worrying that someone is spying on the network, or that someone from the website could reveal your identity.
The website announced today that, after several years, a new system (it's in version beta still) its leak submission runs only with Tor (.onion) addresses.
This will again allow those who want to share secrets to do so with me better safety, according to a Wired publication.
For history, it has been four years and six months since some of WikiLeaks executives, after an internal conflict, erased the documents and destroyed the decryption keys, arguing that the website had become too loose with protection the information and the people who raised them.
Of course, from then until today, technology has progressed to such a point that it required all of the service to renew and upgrade.
Following the closing of the WikiLeaks portal, the media began using SecureDrop and GlobaLeaks to distribute secret documents.
However, its founder WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, in a today's publication, said such alternatives do not meet WL standards.
"Other submission technologies inspired by WikiLeaks, such as the European service GlobaLeaks and American Secure Drop, while excellent in many ways, are not like Wikileaks ..."
According to the founder of Wikileaks, the new submission system has already been tested online before its official link to Wikileaks today. While the service is still technical in beta, WikiLeaks reports that the system is stable and fully functional.
While the site continued to operate during this transition period, the materials it published did not match the classified documents it published at the beginning, such as classified records of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and revelations from the Foreign Ministry of USA.
"WikiLeaks will continue to publish, as it did since its inception, complete archives of secret documents with global strategic partnerships. Public Submission System 2.0 is an important new method in our arsenal to retrieve our history, ”Assange said.
Meanwhile, Assange continues to be at the Ecuador Embassy in London.
Let's assume that with the new secure system it should be a matter of time before public release of new material that will shock the world.
