Wikileaks Introduces Secure Upload System for Document Submission

Wikileaks.org, the online clearinghouse for leaked documents, is working on a plan to make the Web leakier by enabling newspapers, human rights organizations, criminal investigators and others to embed an "upload a disclosure to me via Wikileaks" form onto their Web sites. . The upload system will give potential whistleblowers around the world the ability to leak sensitive documents to an organization or journalist they trust over a secure connection, while giving the receiver legal protection they might not otherwise enjoy. "We will take the burden of protecting the source and the legal risks associated with publishing the document," said Julien Assange, an advisory board member at Wikileaks, in an interview at the Hack In The Box security conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A prominent security researcher this week proposed a plan to create a trade association for vulnerability researchers that would act as an advocacy organization as well as protect the legal and economic interests of the members. The plan is still very much in the formative stages and no formal blueprint for the organization exists, but the idea is being kicked around in many parts of the security community. The idea for the organization came from Thor Larholm, a senior security researcher at PivX Solutions Inc., in Newport Beach, Calif. Larholm is well-known in security circles for his research, particularly on Internet Explorer. He began discussing the plan with other researchers in June and has since spoken with a number of vendor executives about it as well.
