Breach of P3 Global Intel exposes 1.5 million Canadian Crime Stoppers tips
A hack of the P3 Global Intel tip-management platform used by Canadian Crime Stoppers exposed more than 1.5 million tips spanning 25 years, a CBC investigation found. About 850,000 records contained personal details such as addresses, phone numbers, emails and license plates, and over 4,300 tipsters had given their full names. The data was stolen last March by a hacktivist group called Internet Yiff Machine and later shared with journalists via the nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets.
