SAN Exclusive: More than 8.3 million records from the anonymous crime tip company that powers Crime Stoppers have been exposed by hackers.

The leak contains extensive personal data on people accused by tipsters: names, email addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, home addresses, license plate numbers, Social Security numbers and criminal histories.

Although P3 says in sales material for clients that “each tipster’s identity will remain anonymous at all times,” personal information from those who shared it is also present throughout the leak.

Both the accused and the accusers. I wonder how much this will impact the Crime Stoppers' information flow. Will the tips dry up, or will the public shrug after yet another data breach?

How many of them will be harmed as part of the retaliation?
