After reading this thread I had the question on whether it is possible to verify you have certain information without revealing who you are to others.

Yes, only after you've met them. First meet, exchange public keys. Use zero knowledge proofs.

But how do you verify if that information is actually accurate?

Like for example if a whistleblower says that their organization has something that can do xyz is it possible to verify that through zero knowledge proofs?
