Cybersecurity Expert Uncovers Major Data Leak at Tribeca Film Festival, Exposing Celebrity Information
Jeremiah Fowler, a cybersecurity expert, has uncovered a significant data breach involving the Tribeca Film Festival, which exposed personal contact information of several Hollywood celebrities, including Angelina Jolie. The breach involved databases related to the festival, founded by Robert De Niro, and included 666,369 files. While most files contained non-sensitive information, Fowler discovered thousands of email addresses and phone numbers in a backup file. The breach also logged devices associated with these email addresses, posing a risk for potential scams. Fowler immediately informed Tribeca Enterprises, which promptly closed the exposed databases and thanked him for his vigilance.
