Episode Details

Tribeca Festival’s massive data leak exposed hundreds of thousands of records, including personal contact info for Hollywood giants like Martin Scorsese, Jennifer Lawrence, and Robert De Niro. While the festival claims most data was public and was swiftly removed, a backup file left unencrypted contained sensitive personal details — including emails, addresses, and phone numbers — for over 13,000 contacts. Cybersecurity researcher Fowler praised Tribeca’s quick response but warned that in the age of AI, leaked personal data poses an even greater threat. His goal? To spotlight security gaps so companies can fix them — and hopefully, Tribeca will learn from this.
