Fair Vote Canada
What Happened
In March 2024, the Canadian national citizens' campaign for proportional representation Fair Vote Canada suffered a data breach. The incident was attributed to "a well-meaning volunteer" who inadvertently exposed data from 2020 which included 134k unique email addresses, names, physical addresses, phone numbers and, for some individuals, date and amount of a donation.
