Research direction

Start in the Journalist Guide and review the existing guidance on moving documents out of SecureDrop using encrypted USB drives and printing. Add guidance against unsafe export methods, especially copying material to or photographing it with a mobile device. Done means the guide clearly covers these warnings alongside the existing recommendations.

Description

Within our Journalist Guide, we provide recommendations for safely moving documents out of SecureDrop via encrypted USB drives and printing, but we don't advise against unsafe methods.

We should do so, especially including guidance not to copy to or take photos of material using a mobile device
