Religion News Service reports:
Controversial Christian crowdfunding website GiveSendGo is back online after being hacked over the weekend, with digital attackers leaking the names and emails of people who donated to the ongoing protest against pandemic restrictions in Canada spearheaded by truck drivers.
Last week, a Canadian judge issued an order halting access to funds housed in the website, and the Canadian government has warned it will freeze the bank accounts of truckers who continue to form blockades.
GiveSendGo, which describes itself as the “#1 free Christian crowdfunding site,” has become a popular alternative fundraising website among U.S. conservatives in recent years, particularly among outspoken Christian nationalists.

This weekend’s hacking revealed that thousands of donors referenced God, Jesus, and QAnon in the messages accompanying their donations.
In the last two years, GiveSendGo has hosted fundraisers for Kyle Rittenhouse, the Proud Boys, and Capitol rioters.
While the site’s main page is online at this writing, logging in to make donations or start new campaigns is still disabled.
Looks like the controversial Christian crowdfunding website GiveSendGo is back up after being hacked over the weekend.
The hacker targeted donations to the Canadian trucker protest, and temporarily turned the website into a clip from the movie “Frozen.” https://t.co/NBlnY2J4ZF
