CBFC Data Breach Exposes Certification Records of Over 500 Films
A data breach at the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) exposed certification records for over 500 film titles, including scripts, cut orders, and distribution agreements. The leak originated from the e-Cinepramaan portal and the documents were accessible online for several days via the Internet Archive before being removed. The CBFC is investigating the incident and conducting a security audit. No actual films were leaked, and the breach raised concerns about the safety of sensitive industry information.
