Reach Global Recon Securely
If you have documents, leads, imagery, or firsthand information relevant to Global Recon’s reporting, here is how to reach me and how to protect yourself doing it.
How to contact
Signal is preferred for anything sensitive. It offers end-to-end encryption and disappearing messages.
Username: GlobalRecondo.55
Email: john@globalrecon.net
Email is not end-to-end encrypted. Use Signal for sensitive documents or communications.
What I’m looking for
- Documents: contracts, cables, filings, internal communications
- Leads: names, locations, networks, activity patterns
- Imagery: overhead, ground-level, or vessel photography
- Access: firsthand accounts, on-the-ground perspective
Protecting yourself
Source protection is a core commitment, not an afterthought. These steps reduce your exposure before you make contact.
- Use a personal device, not a work phone or computer
- Contact from a personal network, not a work, government, or institutional Wi-Fi
- Signal messages disappear by default; confirm disappearing messages are enabled
- Do not discuss this contact with colleagues or through any work channel
- I will never identify a source without explicit, informed consent
