A hacker known as 'Internet Yiff Machine' claims to have breached the P3 Global Intel platform, a tip intelligence system operated by Navigate360, compromising over 8 million confidential police tips. The hacker exploited social engineering to take over a customer account and then leveraged a system vulnerability to access 93 gigabytes of sensitive data. The breach has raised concerns among law enforcement agencies across the U.S., including those in Hawaii, about the potential exposure of confidential tipster information. The FBI and Navigate360 have not provided immediate comments regarding the breach, and the extent of the impact on local agencies is still being assessed. The transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets has received a copy of the leaked data and plans to share it with vetted journalists and researchers. Reports indicate that the authenticity of some leaked data has been corroborated by contacting affected tipsters.
