在加拿大广播公司(CBC)独家调查披露超过150万条加拿大“举报犯罪”(Crime Stoppers)线索在大规模数据泄露中受损不到一周后,事态影响持续扩大。

Less than a week after an exclusive CBC investigation revealed over 1.5 million Canadian Crime Stoppers tips were compromised in a massive data breach, the fallout continues to grow.

据加拿大广播公司统计,目前至少有11个“举报犯罪”项目宣布暂停接收匿名举报,全国24个警务单位已暂停与该组织的合作关系。

According to CBC's tally, at least 11 Crime Stoppers programs have now announced they are pausing their intake of anonymous tips, and 24 police units across the country have suspended their partnership with the organization.

这一波暂时性暂停源于加拿大广播公司新闻部上周发布的一项调查,该调查披露,去年3月发生的一起数据黑客攻击导致超过60个加拿大“举报犯罪”分会的匿名举报信息泄露,暴露了电话号码、地址甚至部分举报人的姓名。

The wave of temporary suspensions follows a CBC News investigation published last week that revealed anonymous tips attached to over 60 Canadian Crime Stoppers chapters were compromised in a data hack last March — exposing phone numbers, addresses and even the names of some tipsters.

周五,管理所有“举报犯罪”国际线索的第三方美国公司Navigate360证实其系统遭到入侵。这是该公司在事件发生七个月后首次公开承认遭到黑客攻击。

On Friday, Navigate360 — the third-party U.S.-based company that manages all of Crime Stoppers international tips — confirmed its systems had been breached. It was its first public acknowledgment of the hack, seven months after it happened.

加拿大广播公司在发布报道前后曾多次联系Navigate360,但未获得回复。

CBC has reached out repeatedly to Navigate360 before and after publishing its story, but has received no response.

安大略省和曼尼托巴省的大多数警务部门表示,他们暂停与“举报犯罪”的合作伙伴关系,直到调查能够表明举报人再次联系他们是安全的为止。

Most of the police services in Ontario and Manitoba explained they are pausing their partnerships with Crime Stoppers until an investigation can show that it's safe for tipsters to contact them again.

更多加拿大“举报犯罪”分会暂停项目,此前CBC展开调查 | Hanomansing Live最近加入暂停名单的是布兰特福德警察局,该局周一在一份声明中写道,其决定“反映了确保采取适当保障措施以保护信息机密性和举报人匿名性的重要性。”

More Canadian Crime Stoppers chapters pause program after CBC investigation | Hanomansing Live Among recent additions to the list is the Brantford Police Service, which wrote in a statement Monday that its decision "reflects the importance of ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the confidentiality of information and the anonymity of individuals who come forward."

温尼伯警察局是曼尼托巴省两家暂停使用“举报犯罪”的警局之一,该局周五在一份新闻稿中表示:“公众信任是任何举报平台取得成功的关键,我们认识到维护公众对所分享信息的安全性和机密性的信心至关重要。”

The Winnipeg Police Service, one of two police departments in Manitoba to have suspended its use of Crime Stoppers, said in a press release on Friday that "public trust is essential to the success of any reporting platform, and we recognize the importance of maintaining confidence in the security and confidentiality of information shared by members of the public."

CBC联系数十家地方分会 在过去一周里,我们CBC记者团队联系了该组织至少35家地方分会——包括那些泄露举报线索数量最多的分会。

Dozens of local chapters contacted by CBC Over the past week, our team of CBC reporters has contacted at least 35 local chapters of the organization — including all those with the highest number of compromised tips.

我们询问它们是否打算效仿多伦多“举报犯罪”,后者上周三宣布即刻暂停其项目。

We asked them if they intended on following the lead of Toronto Crime Stoppers which announced last Wednesday that it was pausing its program, effective immediately.

在联系的35家分会中,10家直接回复CBC新闻或随后发表公开声明,而25家尚未回应我们的置评请求。回复的大多数项目向CBC确认,它们将不再接受匿名举报。三家分会让CBC联系其省级或国家级协会。仅有新不伦瑞克“举报犯罪”一家分会表示打算继续其项目。

Out of a total of 35 chapters contacted, 10 replied directly to CBC News or subsequently issued public statements, while 25 have yet to respond to our requests for comment. The majority of the programs that replied confirmed to CBC they would no longer be accepting anonymous tips. Three chapters referred CBC back to their provincial or national associations. A single chapter, New Brunswick Crime Stoppers, said it intends to continue its program.

萨斯喀彻温省项目称重点是“寻求答案” 周五晚间,萨斯喀彻温省所有五家“举报犯罪”项目宣布即刻暂停全省范围内的举报接收。

Saskatchewan programs say focus is 'getting answers' On Friday night, all five Crime Stoppers programs in Saskatchewan announced they were pausing all tips intake across the province, effective immediately.

CBC 向该组织代表请求采访,周一被告知:“目前有太多项目和环节,无法指定一人作为发言人。”

CBC asked representatives of the group for an interview and was told on Monday that "there are too many programs and moving parts to designate one person as a spokesperson at this time."

代表所有五个项目的萨斯喀彻温省犯罪线索协会通过电子邮件回复称,他们目前“正在努力了解此次泄露在萨斯喀彻温省的范围”,并“通过法律顾问,我们正在向 Navigate360 索取我们所需的信息。”

Replying by email, the Association of Crime Stoppers Programs of Saskatchewan, which represents all five programs, said they are currently "working to understand the scope of this breach in Saskatchewan" and "through legal counsel, we are pressing Navigate360 for the information we need." "The need for Crime Stoppers has not gone away.

“犯罪线索的需求并未消失。我们正在努力确保人们能够以安全、保密的方式提交线索。我们已多次向 Navigate360 索取所需信息……一旦获得这些信息,我们就能评估此次泄露在萨斯喀彻温省各项目中的范围和影响。”周一,安大略省北部又有两个犯罪线索分会加入到越来越多退出匿名举报项目的组织行列中。

We are working hard to ensure people can submit tips in a safe and confidential way. We have asked Navigate360 repeatedly for the information we need…. Once we have it, we can assess the scope and impact of this breach across Saskatchewan's programs." On Monday, two more Crime Stoppers chapters in Northern Ontario added their names to the growing list of organizations pulling away from the anonymous tip program.

北近犯罪线索组织——该组织鼓励诺斯贝居民匿名举报犯罪——在其网站上发布通知称,已“因网络安全漏洞,暂停通过电话线、网站和移动应用程序接受新线索”。“这一暂时停止的决定并不容易,但我们认为,在情况得到评估并建立适当保障措施之前,这是必要的,”公告称。

Near North Crime Stoppers — which encourages North Bay residents to report crimes anonymously — published a notice on its website saying it has "paused the acceptance of new tips through our telephone line, website, and mobile app following a cybersecurity breach." Over a million Canadian tips leaked from Crime Stoppers database "This temporary pause has not been an easy decision, but we believe it is necessary while the situation is assessed and appropriate safeguards are established," the public notice said.

Sault Ste. Marie Crime Stoppers 还在其网站上发布说明,称“目前无法接受或转发旨在提供给 Sault Ste. Marie 警察局和 Anishinabek 警察局的线索,这两支警队已暂停参与该计划。”

Sault Ste. Marie Crime Stoppers also published a note on its website explaining that "it is currently unable to accept or forward tips intended for Sault Ste. Marie Police Service and Anishinabek Police Service, which have paused its participation in the program."

协会建议各分部“不要接受 CBC 的采访”。截至目前,只有多伦多 Crime Stoppers 分部的主席公开谈及暂停计划的决定。与此同时,绝大多数分部——据 CBC 统计,在 64 个分部中有 49 个——其泄露的线索尚未公开承认违规,无论是否受到 CBC 的敦促。

Association advises chapters to 'not provide interviews to CBC' To date, the chair of the Toronto Crime Stoppers chapter is the only one to have spoken publicly about the decision to suspend the program. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of chapters — 49 of the 64, according to CBC's tally — with tips compromised in the leak have yet to acknowledge the breach publicly, whether they were prompted to by CBC or not.

CBC 新闻获得的一份内部备忘录日期为 10 月 22 日——即我们首次调查报道发布的次日——暗示了可能的原因。

An internal memo obtained by CBC News dated Oct. 22 — the day after the publication of our initial investigation — suggests answers as to why that could be.

加拿大 Crime Stoppers 协会主席 David J. Forster 写道:“不要向 CBC 或任何其他媒体(包括本地媒体)提供采访、声明、背景信息或‘非正式’评论。”他补充说:“如果有人联系,请告知他们可以联系加拿大 Crime Stoppers 协会,并提供我们的联系信息。”备忘录随后要求,当地分部若被其‘执法合作伙伴’——即负责其辖区的警察部门——询问泄露事件,也应将其引导至协会。

"Do not provide interviews, statements, background or 'off the record' comments to CBC or any other outlet, including local media," writes David J. Forster, president of the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association, adding that "If contacted, please let them know they can reach out to the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association, and provide our contact information." The memo continues by asking that local chapters who are asked questions about the breach by their "law enforcement partner" — meaning the police unit covering their territory — also direct them to the association.

虽然未公开表态,但至少有一个当地分部已悄然修改其网站,表明其已知晓泄露事件已被公开。

Without speaking publicly, at least one local chapter has made a discreet change to its website that suggests it is aware of the breach's now very public disclosure.

未回应 CBC 置评请求的卡尔加里 Crime Stoppers 在其网站上添加了横幅,内容为:“请勿提交个人信息。自行识别会损害您在加拿大法律下的匿名权利。”

Calgary Crime Stoppers, which has not replied to CBC's request for comment, added a banner to its website that reads: "DO NOT SUBMIT PERSONAL DETAILS. Self-identification compromises your legal right to anonymity under Canadian Law."
