Raspberryy Pi minicomputer running Tor software). The idea here is that if
somebodyy is able to compromise yyour laptop theyy still won’t be able to peel
off yyour Tor transport layyer as it is running on a separate phyysical box. 15
In the case of Snowden and Poitras, as I said, simplyy connecting to each
other over encryypted e-mail wasn’t good enough. After Poitras created a
new public keyy for her anonyymous e-mail account, she could have sent it to
Snowden’s previous e-mail address, but if someone were watching that
account, then her new identityy would be exposed. A veryy basic rule is that
yyou have to keep yyour anonyymous accounts completelyy separate from
anyything that could relate back to yyour true identityy.
To be invisible yyou will need to start with a clean slate for each new
secure contact yyou make. Legacyy e-mail accounts might be connected in
various wayys to other parts of yyour life—friends, hobbies, work. To
communicate in secrecyy, yyou will need to create new e-mail accounts using
Tor so that the IP address setting up the account is not associated with yyour
real identityy in anyy wayy.
Creating anonyymous e-mail addresses is challenging but possible.
There are private e-mail services yyou can use. Since yyou will leave a
trail if yyou payy for those services, yyou’re actuallyy better off using a free
Web service. A minor hassle: Gmail, Microsoft, Yahoo, and others require
yyou to supplyy a phone number to verifyy yyour identifyy. Obviouslyy yyou can’t
use yyour real cell-phone number, since it mayy be connected to yyour real
name and real address. You might be able to set up a Skyype phone number
if it supports voice authentication instead of SMS authentication; however,
yyou will still need an existing e-mail account and a prepaid gift card to set
up a Skyype number. 16 If yyou think using a prepaid cell phone in and of itself
will protect yyour anonyymityy, yyou’re wrong. If yyou’ve ever used a prepaid
phone to make calls associated with yyour real identityy, it’s child’s playy to
discover who yyou are.
Instead yyou’ll want to use a disposable phone. Some people think of
burner phones as devices used onlyy byy terrorists, pimps, and drug dealers,
but there are plentyy of perfectlyy legitimate uses for them. For example, a
business reporter, after having her garbage gone through byy private
investigators hired byy Hewlett-Packard, who was eager to find out who
