Yes, It Leaks

Balkan Leaks is an interesting initiative which emerged from WikiLeaks. Although mainly addressing issues in Bulgaria other interesting documents can be found. 

Welcome

Dear friends,
Following the example of the whistleblowers site Wikileaks we opened this site to promote transparency and fight the nexus of organized crime and political corruption in the Balkan states.
We are deeply convinced that we're not alone in this battle. There are plenty of people out there that want to change the Balkans for good and are ready to take on the challenge. We're offering them a hand.
If you have any confidential documents related to political, criminal or financial topics and you want to share them with the press in a secure, anonymous way, you can use our secured and encrypted upload server. We will review the documents and publish them after checking the information.
To submit just follow those simple steps:
  1. Download and install the Tor Browser Bundle for your system.
  2. Launch the Tor browser and connect to our tor enabled server: http://4loue2imox5prywc.onion/upload/index.php
  3. Wait! Tor is secure, but slow :-( If it really takes too long to join the page reload the tor browser. 
  4. Upload the files and disconnect.
Tor is working in such a way that nobody, including the administrators of the site can't guess who is the real submitter.
Tor offers a pretty high level of security and anonymity, but if you wish to do even better follow the recommendation:
  • do not use your home or work internet connection for submitting;
  • use a public, password free WiFi point;
  • if possible, use a VPN connection to a server outside your home country.
Please, respect the following requirements for your uploads:
  • Upload only documents which are either:
    • not available in the public space or
    • are in the public space but reveal data not known from previous journalistic investigations.
  • Please, join a short description of your uploads;
  • Name and number the documents in a comprehensive way;
  • Do not upload opinions and allegations without document proofs.
Please, prefer the PDF format.
Thank you for your contribution.
The Balkan Leaks team
