  1. It has been four months since a hacktivist obtained 8.3 million tips submitted to organizations such as Crime Stoppers and Sandy Hook Promise. What the hacktivist found in terms of lack of security was appalling.

    In the four months since Navigate360 (the parent company for P3 Global Intel and P3 Campus) learned of the breach, they have made zero public statements after the first day when they said they were investigating. Their wall of silence, and the conspiracy of silence involving programs like Safe2Say, Safe2Tell, SilentWitness, and Crime Stoppers has been unacceptable. No one has been notified, it seems. And we cannot find any state regulator that has been notified, either.

    DataBreaches wrote about the disgraceful lack of transparency in a new post this week:

    Broken Promises of Anonymity: Four Months Later, Still No Transparency. Now We’re Seeking Accountability.
    databreaches.net/2026/07/20/br

    In conjunction with that post, I filed a formal FTC complaint against Navigate360 under Section 5 of the FTC Act and also notified the National Association of Attorneys General, saying that states should be protecting their residents by investigating the breach and incident response.

    And that's not all. Today, I have filed a complaint with one state attorney general's office and will be filing with others.

    I will also be publishing a post this week about the Crime Stoppers data in the dataset and the ridiculous response by legal counsel for Crime Stoppers USA to inquiries by DataBreaches about what was being done to improve security.

    I have not written up anything specific to all of the Canadian data in the dataset, but yes, Canadian crime stoppers and police organizations are in there, too.

    Take Action:

    If you know anyone in a state attorney general's office, encourage them to read up on the breach on my site, where I have also published tables with data for easy reference.

    If you know anyone in the FTC, encourage them to read the complaint I filed and to act on it.

    If you know any personal injury lawyer who should be handling a massive lawsuit alleging privacy harms, point them to my coverage.

    Children and adults who tried to be good citizens and relied on promises of anonymity have been put in harm's way. We cannot allow this to be minimized or covered up.

  3. NEW: My post on the student/k-12 tips exposed in "BlueLeaks 2.0" is now up.

    P3 Campus and its partner programs like Safe2Say Something PA, Safe2Tell, and Sandy Hook Promise were supposed to provide secure and anonymous ability to report tips.

    Promises of security and anonymity do not appear to have been kept. A hacker claims it was easy to gain access and repeatedly access the database to acquire more than 8 million tips.

    There is not much anonymous about what I reviewed in the dataset.

    Many of the school-related tips I reviewed reported concerns over named students with suicidal ideation or cutting, students being bullied or bullying others, and drugs (mostly vaping) in school. Some students reported cybercriminal activity.

    Navigate360, the parent company of P3, still hasn't publicly acknowledged that it was breached and that sensitive information was involved. Their lack of transparency was noted by @douglevin

    The dataset has not been leaked publicly, but the "Internet Yiff Machine" who provided it to #ddosecrets and infosec.exchange/@mikaelthalen -- and then to me -- has listed it for sale.

    My focus in this post was on the student/school -related tips, but the 93.51 GB dataset has millions of tips that include adult issues and crimes, including drugs, homicide, assaults, etc. I provide one or two examples from the non-student tips to illustrate how sensitive the tips are in this dataset.

    This may be the worst breach I've ever seen involving sensitive student information, and I've seen many student-related data breaches over the past two decades.
