The GiveSendGo crowdfunding service was hacked a few hours ago, the hackers redirected and leaked the databases.
GiveSendGo is a service that has made its donation platform available to members of the Freedom Convoy, a giant truck convoy whose drivers are protesting the COVID-19 restrictions imposed by the Canadian government. The action started on January 22, and a week later the long-distance fighters actually blocked the capital of the country, Ottawa, after which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dumped in an unknown direction.
By January 31, on GoFundMe, sympathizers had raised over $9 million (Canadian) for the protesters, after which GoFundMe removed the fundraiser in support of the Freedom Convoy. The fallen crowdfunding banner was picked up by GiveSendGo. And now they’ve been hacked.
It is likely that the hack is related to protesters blocking the Ambassador Bridge across the Detroit River, linking Canada and the United States, through which a quarter of the cargo turnover between the countries passes. Americans are very sensitive to their financial losses. By the way, the blocking of the bridge was also removed yesterday.
A video of the song “Into the Unknown” from the Disney film Frozen 2 was displayed on the site with a manifesto scrolling over the video condemning the website and the Freedom Convoy.
GiveSendGo, the Christian crowdfunding website used by the Freedom Convoy, was hacked Sunday night and was redirecting to the domain GiveSendGone.wtf.
