  • Nearly 666,000 records were exposed in the Tribeca Film Festival data breach.
  • The leaked information includes personal contact details of several high-profile celebrities.
  • The Tribeca Film Festival is actively investigating the breach and has removed the exposed databases.

A data breach linked to the Tribeca Film Festival has exposed the personal information of numerous Hollywood celebrities, including Angelina Jolie and Robert De Niro. Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered nearly 666,000 records across four databases, with data dating from 2019 to 2026. The leaked information includes names, phone numbers, and email addresses, primarily belonging to managers and agents rather than the celebrities themselves. The breach raises concerns about potential phishing and malware attacks targeting the exposed individuals. Fowler alerted the festival about the breach shortly before its annual event began on June 3, 2026. The festival has since confirmed it is investigating the matter and has removed the databases from public access. The exact duration of the data's exposure online remains unclear.
