2 min read

A security expert said three databases tied to New York’s Tribeca Film Festival were left exposed online, reportedly by human error, and contained names, phone numbers and private email addresses for many high-profile individuals. Jeremiah Fowler described the leak as the biggest he had seen, and named household figures said to be included. A source said most contacts were for managers and agents rather than celebrities themselves. The researcher alerted the festival, the records were removed from public access, and a legal executive said the festival was actively investigating the incident.

Phone numbers and private emails linked to celebrities were exposed online.
