Tribeca Databases Allegedly Expose Celebrity Contacts

Unsecured databases associated with the Tribeca Film Festival were reportedly accessible online, exposing contact details and other information linked to celebrities, film professionals, users, and festival operations.

Researcher Jeremiah Fowler alerted the festival, which said it removed the databases and began investigating. The duration of exposure, extent of access, and possible downstream misuse remain unclear, while reported record totals differ across accounts.
