News Summary

Amber Scorah, cofounder of the nonprofit Psst, is leveraging her experience in advocacy to help tech industry and government whistleblowers share information safely. Psst, launched in September 2024, provides a ‘digital safe’ through an encrypted text box on psst.org for users to anonymously disclose their concerns. The organization employs an ‘information escrow’ system, allowing submissions to remain private until corroborated by others. This approach encourages more disclosures and protects whistleblowers’ identities. Psst recently assisted a group of Microsoft employees in filing a complaint with the SEC about the company’s AI product marketing, showcasing its practical impact in amplifying whistleblower voices.
