XnetLeaks: mailbox for reporting corruption

Citizen leaks and journalism

Part of our fight includes the citizen right to know. Xnet puts at the disposal of those who hold relevant information a mailbox to send it secure and anonymously.

At Xnet, we belive that the right to acces information is not a right of the big media corporations, but a citizen right. For this reason we work so the citizens can send information useful for the detection of corruption cases possible. Without the help of citizens, the fight against SGAE would not have had a good ending, or the 15mparato lawsuit would not have moved forward against Bankia’s board of directors and the preferred participations scam. Throughout all these experiences we have developed a system which includes activists, lawyers, journalists, inspectors specialised in the tax system, advisers to protect the informants and to deal with the information coming from their leaks, and citizen journalism. In addition we promote the legislative standardization of frameworks which protect this right, taking the Icelandic IMMI as inspiration, and weaving international nets to fight in favour of the rights of the citizens across the globe to know.

Not only we live surrounded by corruption, we live surrounded by information too. Every element that we need to build a citizen surveillance network to control our institutions and fight against corruption is out there, we only need the correct way to take it to the specialists who know how to use it to act both legally and in the media. This tool is Xnet’s Mailbox.

We in Xnet will study if the information received can be dealt with legally. Also we will send your information to more than 50 journalists who collaborate with us, in these media (alphabetic order):

Antena3, Cadena Ser, Café amb Llet, Cinco Días, Cuartopoder, Cuatro, Diario Crítico, EFE, El Confidencial, El Mundo, El País, El Proceso, El Triangle, Europa Press, Gara, Huffington Post, Infolibre, La directa, La Sexta, La Vanguardia, Mongolia, Nació Digital, Opengov.cat, Periodico de Catalunya, Playground, Público, Sentic Critic, Tercera Información, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Tiempo, TV3, TVE, Vox Pópuli, WDR y 20minutos

Some of these media houses have opened a space for us to process the information in this mailbox. You can see it here:
Confidencial | Infolibre | Público | Vilaweb

Please be patient. Journalists are overloaded and we do everything we can to send the information as clearly as possible. Nevertheless, this is not a guarantee that the media will publish it.

How to leak information to Xnet’s mailbox

You can send information to Xnet’s mailbox in two ways:

To better manage the overload of information and ensuring the safety and anonymity of the users, we maintain GlobaLeaks as the only option for the provision of information through the mail Xnet.

Send information via an interface of the Xnet’s mailbox that uses the GlobaLeaks software configured to be unusable without TOR. To do this, follow these instructions:

1- Download and install/open the TOR browser Linux, Windows y MacOs.

2 Close all the other applications that can connect to the internet (other browsers, chat applications, mail managers, etc.) and then visit this direction [https://xnet-x.net/en/xnetleaks/] from the TOR browser.

3- If you are reading this paragraph and instructions already from TOR :) click on the following link: http://ztjn5gcdsqeqzmw4.onion to access to the interface (note that this address only works if it is accessed or if you click on it from TOR! if it is visited from another browser such as FireFox or Chrome an ERROR mesage will appear).

Please remember that we cannot protect you if you do not protect yourself.

Let’s get them!
