Just days after leaking the personal details of 92,000 people who donated to the Freedom Convoy 2022 campaign on Christian-focused crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo, the same hackers appear to have published data on every single campaign ever run on the platform.
According to Distributed Denial of Secrets, a WikiLeaks-like website that is sharing the leaked information with journalists and researchers, the huge cache contains over 5GB of data that includes the source code for GiveSendGos website, data on all the campaigns its run, limited credit card data, and unredacted images of identity verification documents sent to GiveSendGo by those running crowdfunding campaigns.
The data also includes what appears to be the platforms plans for processing cryptocurrency payments, which they dont currently accept.
VICE News is in the process of downloading and verifying the data, but Micah Lee, a technologist with a focus on operational security, and Director of Information Security at the Intercept, has already looked through it and found that it contains a lot of information that could be hugely damaging for GiveSendGo.

Hope they hurry and redact all bank info out, so everybody gets to see who the 92,000 are.

Or, for that matter, what qualifies someone to be "a researcher?"
