Protecting reporters, researchers, and investigators who work in risky online environments.
Journalists and researchers are often targeted by harassment, doxxing, impersonation, and disinformation campaigns. Their work makes them visible, and adversaries may try to silence them by exploiting personal information or overwhelming them with abuse.
Personal details, family information, and addresses may be published. Reducing public exposure and knowing how to respond are essential.
Fake accounts may impersonate a journalist to spread false information or attack sources. Verification and rapid reporting help.
Sources, editors, and accounts are common targets. Strong authentication and careful verification prevent many compromises.
Coordinated attacks can escalate quickly. Documentation, platform reporting, and legal support are critical.
