A CBC investigation has found that over 1.5 million tips that were submitted to Canadian Crime Stoppers programs over the last 25 years have been leaked.
Summary
Per CBC, this was compromised as part of a larger data breach and includes the personal information of some tipsters.
This is a brief wire summary, the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself, they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
