For decades journalists' sources have contended with phone booths, e-mail and underground parking garages to pass information to reporters. No more, we say! Eavesdroppers have too many tools at their disposal these days, from pretexting attacks to extrajudicial surveillance programs.

So today Threat Level is busting out a can of crypto to give you, our readers and sources, a way to share your tips and feedback with less fear of the message being siphoned off into a windowless room somewhere. Our new feedback page uses Hush Communications' Secure Forms service to PGP-encrypt your tip with our key before it touches the net.

It's Java based, so your browser might crash, but at least your secrets will be safe.
