Site's plea for NI leaks
Whistleblowers with inside information about malfeasance at News International are being encouraged by a new Wikileaks-style site to submit details about events in the company.
The site, created on 13 July, offers secure, anonymous methods to submit "tips or evidence of wrongdoing relating to Rupert Murdoch's affiliated institutions such as News International and News Corporation.
Credible submissions will be distributed to our network of journalists (actual journalists) and law enforcement agencies in the UK, the US and Australia. We will not publish anything ourselves." It adds that "We do not accept rumor, opinion or material that is publicly available elsewhere... Credible submissions will be distributed to our network of journalists... and law enforcement agencies in the UK, the US and Australia. We will not publish anything ourselves."
The Guardian does not know who is behind the site and is not collaborating with it.
Spelling on the site, such as the American "rumor" rather than the English "rumour" implies that the author is American.
The site is hosted via CloudFlare, a service increasingly popular among hackers seeking to cover their tracks. Charles Arthur
