Ontario Crime Stoppers suspend Navigate360 tip lines after leak
Original title: Navigate360’s lack of transparency is catching up with them; More organizations tell people NOT to use their tiplines.
A hacktivist obtained 8.3 million tips; Nevada says about 10 percent of SafeVoice tips with PII were exposed.
Multiple Ontario Crime Stoppers groups, including Toronto, stopped using Navigate360 tip lines after reporting that more than 1.5 million Canadian tips were in a leaked data set. Navigate360 has known since about March 18, 2026, that hacktivist Yiff Internet Machine took 8.3 million tips submitted from November 2025 to March 2026. Nevada says roughly 10 percent of SafeVoice Nevada tips containing PII were compromised and is giving public notice because it cannot identify every tipster.
Unconfirmed: A U.S. Justice Department criminal investigation is mentioned by clients but has not been publicly confirmed by the department.
- Tips came from students, teachers, community members and U.S. service members.
- Navigate360 told Nevada the forensic review found about 10 percent of SafeVoice PII tips affected.
- Navigate360’s public notice followed an October 23 court-ordered disclosure, DataBreaches notes.
- Portland is the only U.S. local program DataBreaches knows has suspended use.
Impact: Exposure of supposedly anonymous crime and school-safety tips
