No evidence stolen Crime Stoppers data used for fraud, provider says

Navigate360, the provider of software used by Crime Stoppers, has stated that it has found no evidence that personal information exposed in a recent cybersecurity breach has been used for fraud or identity theft. The U.S.-based company acknowledged that names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and other sensitive information may have been affected, although the information involved varies by person.

The breach was first discovered on March 18, with the unauthorized access occurring between November 21, 2025, and March 5, 2026. Several Canadian police forces have suspended their use of Crime Stoppers due to concerns over the breach, with the Toronto Crime Stoppers chair expressing uncertainty about the risk involved, as the list provided by Navigate360 lacked identifying details.
