GiveSendGo is now back up and running.

Sunday evening, February 13th, GiveSendGo was attacked by malicious actors attempting to eliminate the ability of its users to raise funds. Personal information were released, however, no credit card information was leaked and no money was stolen.

Also if you have received an email from CBC:

Good morning.

This is ______ and ______ from CBC Ottawa.

We're working on a story about the people who allegedly contributed funds, through GiveSendGo, to the ongoing Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa, according to the public release of hacked data from the site.

We are reaching out to you because your name and information appeared on the list, and we're interested in interviewing you both about why you may have donated to the cause, but also how you feel about having your personal information leaked.

We should stress: we are not automatically identifying anyone by name in our story. We need to verify with people that they indeed contributed, as a first step.

The second step is seeing if people will share their story with us.

If you're interested, please write back as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Ignore the email because of the recent announcement by the Canadian government. The hacking of information is an illegal act in itself and most likely the government is unable to use. However if you call back and confirm then they have your admission that you have donated to the Freedom Convoy.
