The Freedom Convoy protest began in BC and traveled across Canada before converging in Ottawa on January 29th. Organizers first used GoFundMe to fundraise but later switched to GiveSendGo after GoFundMe halted donations. Hackers then illegally obtained and leaked online the donor data from GiveSendGo, including names, addresses, donation amounts, and payment methods. While the data was obtained illegally, several media organizations including the CBC and Globe and Mail reported on some of the findings from the leaked data.
