Tip off our vultures securely

Our professional journalists have decades of experience in successfully handling sensitive subjects and information with care, attention, and fairness. We always protect our sources: if you wish to be anonymous, tell us, and we will never reveal your identity.

For your own safety, do not contact us from a work email address, phone number, or device unless you have permission to speak to the media. Otherwise, use a private, personal account and device to reach us. If need be, pop to a cafe or bar a good distance from your home or office that has anonymous Wi-Fi, and use the form below.

To contact us securely, encrypt your message using our public PGP key at the end of this page and email it to encrypted@theregister.com, or send us a note using this secure anonymous form.

A useful news tip includes proof – such as screenshots or copies of documents – and details on how to contact you, if possible. This helps us enormously in investigating wrongdoing and injustice.
