The Hackers

Hackers known as 'Internet Yiff Machine' claim to have stolen 93GB of data from P3's tip system.

The stolen data, containing sensitive personal information and investigator replies, was sent to Straight Arrow News and Distributed Denial of Secrets, with DDoS restricting public access.

Software Interface

The P3 software, including its web version, features a basic form with numerous text fields for detailed tip submission.

Website Glitch

An attempt to access a local tips page on P3's site redirected to a different regional hotline, raising concerns about its functionality.

Hacking Method

Internet Yiff Machine stated they exfiltrated the entire database by sending over 8 million requests without encountering security measures like rate-limiting.

Hackers' Ideology

The hacking group expressed an anti-police ideology, advocating for attacks against the police, government, corporations, and billionaires.

Motives Unclear

The true motive behind the hack is uncertain, with speculation that it could be a nation-state operation using internet slang as a cover.

Company Response

Navigate360, the owner of P3, has not confirmed the breach and has hired a digital forensics company to investigate.

Law Enforcement Caution

Some agencies, like the Portland Police Bureau, have advised the public to temporarily avoid using the Crime Stoppers platform due to the alleged hack.

School System Impact

The P3 service is used by over 35,000 schools, meaning the leaked data could contain sensitive information about student threats, bullying, and drug use.
