<h2><b>Why anonymity is not enough for sensitive use</b></h2>
|

<p>Let’s say Charlie is a whistleblower leaking information about widespread corruption via a popular online forum. To stay anonymous, he makes sure to connect to the site only through Tor and VPN, and uses a burner email address to sign up.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the foreword to his first leak, he uses one of his favorite personal phrases. To his misfortune, his real-name X account is the only one to ever publicly use that phrase before.</p>

<p><b>The government connects the dots and uses its key disclosure legislation to issue a search warrant for the X user’s hard drives.</b></p>

<p>Thankfully, Charlie needn’t worry: he has set up VeraCrypt’s deniable encryption to separate his personal life from his leaks. <b>He gives the authorities the key to the main volume; they find nothing related to the leaks. The leaker’s use of that particular phrase is deemed a mere coincidence.</b></p>
