Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler recently discovered and reported to ExpressVPN about multiple unsecured databases containing records linked to the Tribeca Film Festival. The exposed data included, but was not limited to:
- 666,369 total records across three unsecured databases labeled “development,” “staging,” and “production,” spanning records from 2019 to 2026.
- A production backup file with 295,916 records containing sensitive PII — email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and hashed passwords — tied to users, film contacts, and more.
- Confidential documents, press kits, and marketing materials, some explicitly marked as confidential, potentially exposing A-list talent and industry professionals associated with the festival.
