REUTERS/Jennifer Gauthier(Reuters] – The leak site claims that it received reams information about donors to anti-vaccine mandate truckers in Canada from a fundraising website popular among supporters.
Distributed Denial of Secrets stated on its website it has 30 gigabytes of Donor Information from Christian Fundraising Site GiveSendGo. This includes names, email addresses and zip codes as well as internet protocol addresses.
GiveSendGo was also offline. Website visitors received the message, “We will be back very shortly” that said it was temporarily unavailable for maintenance. The site operators did not respond to a message asking for comments early Monday.
On Twitter, a Daily Dot journalist stated that site was hacked overnight. The front page of the website was temporarily replaced with a clip from “Frozen” as well as a manifesto accusing the site of backing “an insurrection at Ottawa.”
Reuters couldn’t confirm either the hack or the leak claims immediately, though Distributed Denial of Secrets, (DDoS), has a long history of hosting leaked data by right-wing organizations such as the Patriot Front, and Oath Keepers.
DDoS explained that because donor data contains sensitive information it won’t be making public the data but would instead make it available to researchers and journalists.
DDoS is a non-profit organization that aims to enable the free transfer of data in public interest.
As authorities try to check on protests in Canada and Ottawa, they are also interested in the funding. The rallies have been blocking cities and crossings throughout Canada and making demands for the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
Following the blockade of donations from GoFundMe’s main crowdfunding platform, GiveSendGo became the primary conduit for funds to protesters. This group reported earlier in the month that they had raised $8 Million for protests.
Canada Border Services Agency reported that North America’s most vital trade link was reopened to traffic on Sunday evening after six days of blockade. The move came after Canadian police removed protestors fighting against COVID-19 restrictions.
