CBFC Data Breach Exposes Confidential Documents of Over 500 Films
A data breach at the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) exposed confidential documents linked to over 500 films, including scripts, censor board cut orders, and distribution agreements. These files, accessible via the CBFC's e-Cinepramaan portal and archived online for several days, raised concerns about the security of sensitive film industry information. The CBFC is investigating the incident and conducting a security audit. While actual film content was not leaked, the exposure of unpublished scripts and commercial agreements has alarmed filmmakers and industry experts.
