Navigate360

Summary

Navigate360 acknowledged that hackers infiltrated one of its systems and copied months of data after an earlier breach exposed millions of crime tips. The incident potentially exposed names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and other sensitive information. A hacker previously claimed to have stolen 93 gigabytes of data, including 8 million confidential tips, from a tip intelligence platform operated by the company, which at the time said it was investigating whether an incident had occurred. Government officials in Nevada and Canada stated the company provided only partial information despite repeated requests, and police forces in Ontario suspended use of the service after a report found hundreds of thousands of Canadian tipsters were exposed.

Description

Navigate360, a safety company, publicly acknowledged on October 23, 2026, that hackers had broken into one of its systems and copied months’ worth of data. The acknowledgment came seven months after a widely publicized breach that had already exposed millions of crime tips. In its statement, the company said that names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive information had potentially been exposed. The earlier incident involved P3 Global Intel, a tip intelligence platform operated as an arm of Navigate360. In March, a hacker using the name Internet Yiff Machine claimed to have broken into P3 Global Intel and stolen 93 gigabytes of data, including 8 million confidential tips. At that time, Navigate360 stated that it was investigating whether it had experienced an incident and declined to provide further comment. The October acknowledgment therefore confirmed a compromise that had previously been under investigation without public confirmation.

Government officials in Nevada and Canada were quoted in the media in recent days as saying that Navigate360 had provided only partial information about the breach despite repeated requests. Police forces in Ontario suspended their use of the service after a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation report found that hundreds of thousands of Canadian tipsters had been exposed in the breach. Navigate360 did not immediately respond to a Reuters question seeking additional details about the hack or the timing of its announcement. The company’s statement did not specify when the October intrusion was detected or how long attackers had access before discovery. No details were released regarding the specific systems affected beyond the general reference to one of its systems. The timeline indicates that the March claim by Internet Yiff Machine preceded the October public confirmation by approximately seven months. The company has not disclosed whether any arrests were made or whether the stolen data was recovered.
