Wall Street Journal To Go After WikiLeaks?

The Wall Street Journal looks to be going after WikiLeaks, not in the way you would think.

The Journal has unveiled Safehouse, which is a place where you can safely and securely upload "newsworthy contracts, correspondence, emails, financial records or databases" to the WSJ.

"It grew out of a conversation that a number of our editors had," said Kevin Delaney, managing editor of WSJ.com to the Atlantic. "Our sources had always given us documents. That could have been a printout in a park or something that they faxed us. Now, clearly there is a digital context for reporting and that means we need a modern infrastructure so that sources can send documents to us."

"You can't offer absolute security or anonymity because it's a technical product, but we've designed it to minimize the risk of security issues," Delaney said.

"The Journal has also minimized the technical information it receives as part of any uploads that could potentially identify the user." the site says.
