GLOBALEAKS

Hello everyone, I just finished building a prototype of an ephemeral encrypted filesystem in #Python using #FUSE, #Cryptography, and #ChaCha20 —designed specifically for #whistleblowing #applications. It extends the SecureTemporaryFile implementation, which I previously developed for GLOBALEAKS that is also in use by #Securedrop. This new concept enables passing privacy-sensitive files through tools like #ClamAV and #MAT2 by leveraging the filesystem. I believe this could become a valuable component for other Python-based technologies, such as Hush Line. I’m thrilled to share this with the FOSS community and would love your help with #peer #reviews and #security #audits. https://lnkd.in/dqfNyudz .

It’s thanks to #opensource and the boundless possibilities of #peerreview that good practices can grow into #bestpractices. Shout out to Micah Lee for their extraordinary responsiveness and unwavering dedication to protecting #whistleblowers.

We are glad to announce publicly an extension of our team. Recent but already long standing contributor of GlobaLeaks, Abdul Mannan is now part of our team. Abdul is a talented computer engineer and advocate for secure communication, and since almost 2 years now has been an active code contributor. His efforts have focused on enhancing the platform’s architecture and functionality, collaborating with us to ensure GlobaLeaks is reliable secure tool. https://lnkd.in/dxUKGEEy

"When we feel safe, we can truly be ourselves and unlock our full potential. This holds true for our team, collaborators, and the people who benefit from our work. That’s why reporting mechanisms are a cornerstone of PSEAH policies—essential for preventing exploitation and abuse." Giovani Senza Frontiere – Giosef Italy has chosen to embrace digital tools to make reporting easier and safer using GLOBALEAKS.

GLOBALEAKS is happy to celebrate with Earth League International (ELI) the 10th anniversary of WildLeaks, the world’s first whistleblowing initiative dedicated to combating environmental and wildlife crime.  Since 2013 we have been supporting ELI with our digital platform to provide a safe, secure, and anonymous channel for whistleblowers worldwide to share crucial information about environmental and wildlife crime.  As ELI’s Executive Director Andrea Crosta, the creator of WildLeaks, shares, “Wildlife and environmental crimes often go unchallenged because people cannot speak up. WildLeaks empowers whistleblowers to help expose these crimes and bring justice.” Over the past decade, the platform has received hundreds of submissions from more than 30 countries, ranging from wildlife trafficking to illegal logging and corporate environmental crimes. Despite limited funding, 25 cases have led to concrete actions—including investigations, reports to partner NGOs and law enforcement, and media exposure. More info about the work done in the framework of the WildLeaks initiative can be read in this report.  Our support and collaboration to this ground-breaking initiative will continue and we encourage everyone to support ELI with a donation to ensure they can keep on fighting for a future where nature and its wildlife are protected, and environmental crime does not go unpunished. https://lnkd.in/dJ__6yR8

We are delighted to announce that GLOBALEAKS has officially become a new associate of the Whistleblowing International Network (WIN)! WIN connects and supports civil society organisations working to defend and empower whistleblowers all over the world. We are very proud to be part of this community that GlobaLeaks has supported since its inception https://lnkd.in/dv4u7AsM
