Crime Stoppers assured people their tips would be anonymous. Then more than 1 million tips leaked.

This report covers the March 2026 Navigate360/P3 data breach in which an attacker claimed to have downloaded and leaked more than 8.2 million tip submissions (including over one million Crime Stoppers-related tips) due to insecure direct object references, lack of rate limiting, weak authentication, and optional IP-tracking features; the article documents sensitive examples from the dataset, criticizes Navigate360 and Crime Stoppers USA for lack of transparency and notifications, and highlights the substantial risk to tipsters’ anonymity and personal safety.
