Tribeca Festival Data Breach Exposes Contact Information of Entertainment Professionals
A data breach involving the Tribeca Festival exposed over 666,000 records, including contact information linked to Hollywood figures like Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, and Martin Scorsese. Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered the unsecured database, which contained marketing materials and a contacts folder with names, emails, and phone numbers, mostly of representatives rather than celebrities themselves. The festival stated that no personal contact details of celebrities were exposed and that the data was largely publicly available business information, which was removed after the breach was reported.
