A data theft involving Navigate360 affected records from organizations in the United States and Canada, including anonymous crime tips; copied files may also hold Social Security numbers and other personal information.
Navigate360 said its review found that someone entered a company system and took copies of files from Nov. 21, 2025, to March 5, 2026. The company said it noticed suspicious activity around March 18. The possible data included addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, phone numbers and email addresses. Navigate360 did not state how many people were affected.
An incident page published by the Washoe County School District puts the wider total at about 8.3 million data records across organizations in the United States and Canada. The figure describes records; Navigate360 did not provide a corresponding count of individuals. The page also says about 10% of Nevada SafeVoice tips containing personally identifiable information were affected. SafeVoice remained open to reports.
In Toronto, the chapter of Crime Stoppers said Navigate360 told it that 176,859 tips submitted from January 2022 to November 2025 were in the copied data. The chapter said Navigate360 later identified 14,973 names among the tips, but it could not determine whether they belonged to tipsters, people mentioned in reports or both. The chapter says its intake process does not ask for names, although some submissions include identifying details.
Toronto Crime Stoppers previously suspended new tip submissions after the theft. It says it has not received the copied tip text and is working on a safer way to accept reports. Sean Sportun, the chapter’s chair, said, “We are deeply sorry.”
CBC News reported that more than 1.5 million tips submitted to Canadian Crime Stoppers chapters were exposed, with personal information in at least half, based on its investigation. Toronto Crime Stoppers’ timeline says Navigate360 told programs on March 25 that its P3 tip platform was accessed with login details stolen from a customer account. Navigate360’s Oct. 23 notice did not describe how the access occurred.
Navigate360 said it added safeguards, brought in cybersecurity and data-review firms, and notified law enforcement and regulators. The company said it had no evidence of fraud or identity theft involving the information. Nevada Department of Education issued a request for information to assess alternative vendors. Toronto Crime Stoppers has not announced when it will resume intake.
