A leak site says it gained tons of knowledge about canadian truckers’ donors from the anti-vaccine mandate after the popular fundraising platform among supporters of the movement was reportedly hacked.
Distributed Denial of Secrets announced that it has 30 megabytes of donor data from the Christian fundraising site GiveSendGo, adding names, email addresses, zip codes, and Internet Protocol addresses.
At the same time, GiveSendGo seemed to be offline. Visitors to the online page were greeted with the message that it was under maintenance and “we will be back very soon. “A message seeking comment from the site’s operators returned early Monday. .
A Daily Dot reporter said on Twitter that the site was hacked overnight and that its cover was briefly replaced by an excerpt from the movie “Frozen” and a manifesto accusing it of supporting “an insurrection in Ottawa. “
Just a few days ago, an S3 compartment that was checked on GiveSendGo revealed leaks of images of driver’s licenses, army ID cards, passports, and other sensitive documents. The source tells me that despite an attempt at repair, the back of the compartment was used to allow the acquisition of the site https://t. co/2cnPIGMkuo
Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoS) has a long history of hosting leaked data through right-wing organizations, including far-right Patriot Front and Oath Keepers.
DDoS said that because donor data comprises sensitive non-public data, it would not make the knowledge available to the public, but would offer it to “journalists and researchers. “
DDoS describes itself as a non-profit organization committed to enabling the flexible transmission of knowledge in the interest of the public.
Funding for the Canadian protests has a key focus as the government in Ottawa and elsewhere tries to control the demonstrations, which block cities and border crossings across Canada with demands that come with the testimony of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
GiveSendGo, the main channel for getting cash to protesters after client crowdfunding platform GoFundMe blocked donations to the movement. Earlier this month, the organization said it had raised $8 million for the protests.
North America’s busiest advertising address reopened to traffic Sunday night, ending a six-day lockdown, the Canada Border Services Agency said, after Canadian police cleared protesters struggling to end COVID-19 restrictions.
