- Contact details for numerous celebrities, including Angelina Jolie, Robert De Niro, and Martin Scorsese, were reportedly exposed in a data breach.
- The leak occurred when a Tribeca Film Festival database, simply named “contacts”, was accidentally made public online.
- Cybersecurity expert Jeremiah Fowler discovered the exposure days before the festival began on 3 June, calling it the “biggest collection of celebrity data” he had ever seen.
- The exposed data included names, phone numbers, email addresses, and device information such as iPhone versions and web browsers used by the celebrities.
- Fowler notified the Tribeca Film Festival, co-founded by Robert De Niro, which promptly removed the databases and said it is actively investigating the incident.
