My name is Raphael Satter. I have been a journalist for nearly 20 years and have been writing for Reuters since 2019.
I’m eager for you to get in touch, particularly on matters of public interest including misconduct, corruption, hacking, theft, espionage, and abuse of power. You can reach me via email, which consists of my first and last names separated by a dot and followed by @tr.com. If your message is of a personal nature, please contact me at my personal email, which consists of the first letter of my first name, followed by @phae.li. I’m also available on Signal, and via social media (particularly BlueSky and Mastodon).
My past reporting has revealed how cyber mercenaries manipulate the world’s legal systems, detailed how Russian hackers targeted America in 2016, and exposed elements of the Israeli private spy industry. I’ve reported inside details from organizations including WikiLeaks, Black Cube, and the GRU. I’ve written about technology – from cell site simulators to machine learning – is enabling new forms of propaganda. I’ve covered domestic surveillance as well, including one of the FBI’s first known uses of spyware and the legal fallout from the revelation of the NSA’s warrantless telephone dragnet. A particular focus of mine has been how hackers and spies impersonate journalists.
I enjoy photography in my spare time and have shot more than 200 stills for the Associated Press and Reuters, which are available for purchase via AP Newsroom and Reuters Connect, respectively. Some personal photos are viewable via Instagram and Flickr, where all rights are reserved.
