Canadian Crime Stoppers Data Breach Class Action

+ - Documents (2)

CONSUMER LAW GROUP has filed a class action lawsuit against the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association and Navigate360 in relation to a massive data breach that exposed the private information and tips provided by at least 1.5 million Canadians.

The Canadian Crime Stoppers Association has 68 chapters operating across Canada and has contracted with a third-party provider named Navigate360 for the storage and administration of private information and tips provided by Canadians who provide tips to the Association.

In October 2026, Navigate 360 disclosed for the first time that their systems were compromised as a result of a data breach that occurred in the period between November 21, 2025 to March 5, 2026. Despite knowing this since at least March 18, 2026, Navigate did not provide any notice to affected individuals and made no public statements until October 2026.

It is alleged that Canadian Crime Stoppers Association and Navigate 360 failed to protect tipsters’ identities and personal information, left personal unredacted and unencrypted, and improperly retained decades of sensitive information and records long past their useful life.

It is estimated that more than 850,000 tips retained and stored by the Association and Navigate 360 included personally identifiable information about tipsters, individuals named in allegations, and even Crime Stoppers staff and police. The sensitive information that was compromised includes street addresses, phone numbers, personal email addresses, licence plate numbers, banking details, and social insurance numbers.

To this day, neither Crime Stoppers nor Navigate 360 have provided any notice to affected individuals whose information was compromised.

Consumer Law Group believes action must be taken for all individuals who provided tips to the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association.
