Hollywood A-Listers, plus Angelina Jolie, Robert De NiroSharon Stone, Martin Scorsese, Rami Malekiand many others, are among those whose reputations have been ruined by cyber attacks. Contact numbers and email addresses were made public, putting the star’s personal information at risk of discovery. Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler announced the leak last month, calling it one of the biggest celebrity-related leaks yet.
Cybersecurity breach reveals details of Hollywood A-listers
Jeremiah Fowler was aware of the breach, and the findings show that the database is close to 666,000 documents from 2019 to 2026, made of advertising material, such as publications, stored in the cloud, on The Sun. One of the backup files called ‘contacts’ contained your information. All entries were screened at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival, which Robert De Niro started in 2002. Other names of victims are Danny Boyle, Neil Patrick Harris, Michael Douglas, George Lucas, etc.Fowler said the leak was a human error, adding, “It’s very special because these people are protected and they protect their privacy, their contacts, their phone numbers.” Time to report information online has not been followed. In addition, this information was removed from the public after meeting with the festival authorities.“What was very interesting was that there was a folder that took information about their device from the email. It could say what type of iPhone they were using, if they were using Safari, and what software they were using. This could give the bad guys more information,” he added about the breach.Jeremiah Fowler believes that nothing wrong has been done by criminals or scammers, as evidence on ransomware or only documents often come out. This phenomenon raises personal, as well as professional, concerns about information stored in the cloud and its security.
