Crime Stoppers assured people their tips would be anonymous. Then more than 1 million tips leaked.
A breach of Navigate360's systems exposed more than one million tips submitted to Crime Stoppers and law enforcement programs that relied on the company's software for anonymous reporting. The incident undermines trust in anonymous tip submission channels that promised confidentiality to sources.
Why it matters: Law enforcement agencies, Crime Stoppers programs, and community members who submitted tips need to assess exposure of personal information and adjust communication with informants who believed their submissions were protected.
