Given that you didn't even read the article before writing this, feel free to apologize for calling me "repulsive" whenever you'd like. If you do read the article, you can learn how to do it securely and anonymously.
Eh no, I want the juicy behind the scenes stuff, some practises need to be revealed.this is awful. i'd much prefer the spoon fed info from the publishers i worship

Leaking confidential games and info early, no.
bungie dev needs to leak the final year of destiny
Gonna bump this since apparently a lot of people have trouble actually reading articles before insulting us about them.It's worth noting, as explained in the article itself (read it!), the point of this guide is not to get people to leak us unannounced games. We're way more interested in reporting real stories about, say, Crytek not paying its staff, or how LucasArts fell apart, or what really happened behind the scenes of Destiny. That's why we want to provide people with tips on contacting us securely and anonymously.

anyone who trusts kotaku/kinja in a morom
their main priority is clicks/$, morals be damned
Ok, someone, for the love of everything that is holy, leak something about TLG. Anything, please. ╥﹏╥
People who are offended by this have a pretty naive understanding of how journalism works.

Does anyone know what happened to CBOAT?
What if I send dick pics anonymously
BRIAN CRECENTE said:It appears that this rumor story could be CAG throwing their credibility out the window as part of a contest. Kotaku''s decision to run rumors is always based on the credibility of the site and the information contained within it. In the past CAG has proven to be a reliable site, having broken a number of stories through apt reporting. It appears that may no longer be the case.
ueda spends a lot of time in the break room asking if anybody on the knack 2 team has spare time to model some trees
Because it's important for us to give potential tipsters and whistleblowers as much information as possible about how to protect themselves, ranging from basic (don't use company WiFi!) to advanced (using TOR and PGP encryption). People need to know that they can and should come to us when they experience malfeasance or wrongdoing of some sort.If somebody want's to leak something to you your email is right there on Kotaku page. If they want more info how to send you assets they can ask you via personal email. Why did you have need to write this article then?
Just to be clear i really enjoy reading your article about game industry stuff and this is not rant or angry conversation.

good for them if this works though
Misinformation in November's NPD thread.

Photos, Documents, Videos
If the story you'd like to share with us would be improved by photos or documentation, here are some extra potential security measures for sending out visual materials:
Taking pictures of photos or documents with your phone and sending those photos is always more secure than digitally transferring the files themselves.
If you do take pictures of a photo or document you want to send our way, try to get multiple angles so you can send us as many versions as possible.
When sending photos via e-mail or Dropbox, remove the metadata first. We do our own metadata scrubbing before we post leaked photos on Kotaku, but it's best to be as safe as possible.
For Extra Security
There are several extra steps you can take if you want to leak ultra-sensitive information to Kotaku in the most secure way possible.
Use the TOR browser, an open-source program that allows you to use the internet on a proxy IP address.
For extra security, you can encrypt e-mails using a tool called PGP. The easiest way to do this is to install a browser extension called Mailvelope that can enable your webmaillike, say, Gmailto encrypt and decrypt e-mails. Mailvelope will also give you a full walkthrough on how to do this.
You can send me an encrypted e-mail by e-mailing jason@kotaku.com with my public PGP key, which you can find right here.
How dare this website attempt to get traffic
It's like all they care about is readership and page views on stories that might be of interest to people while also protecting their sources
Disgusting.
I'm all for uncovering bad practices but giving a call for people to get leaks of people's work and what they've been busting their asses for years to make to just have it spoiled for clicks is terrible. Kotaku is repulsive.
There's a whole movement of naive people out there somewhere. What were they called again? Garry Gergich? Something like that.
its a good psa.
its surprising how many people in tech industry have no clue how security works.
Had a former coworker with folders of porn on his company computer...

I really want that Destiny article.
