tips
seen agents somewhere they shouldn't be? a wiki with odd edits, a pastebin filling up on a schedule, a shortener full of proxy links, a message board that isn't for people. tell us. this is where most of what's in here came from: someone noticed and said so.
what a good tip has
| where | the url. the exact page if there is one, the listing if not |
|---|---|
| when | when you saw it, with a timezone. the venue's own timestamps are often local time with no zone, so yours anchors them |
| what | what made you look twice: names, cadence, links, encodings. a screenshot or a saved copy is gold, because these things get deleted |
| who | how you want to be credited, if at all. tracker rows name groups and handles; nothing is added about a person without their say |
send it
email a tip opens your mail client with the fields above. plain email to roarch@proton.me works too.
what happens to it
it goes in as a lead with you as the source, we pull the venue ourselves and read what's there, and whatever we can verify becomes venue rows, records and claims with your tracker row as found_by. anything we can't verify stays a lead and says so. if it's a false alarm you'll hear that too.
what not to send
decrypted contents of anything, credentials you found, or private data about people. tell us it exists and where; we'll take it from there.
if what you found is illegal material rather than agent activity, report it to the site's operator and to the hotline for your country before anything else. we are not the place for it and will not hold it.
| inhope | the network of national hotlines. finds the one for your country |
