De Niro Defends Mamdani at 9/11 Memorial Amid Controversy

Robert De Niro publicly supports NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s attendance at the 25th 9/11 anniversary memorial, calling him a potential 'bridge' for the city. This stance contrasts with protests from 9/11 families and right-wing figures who oppose Mamdani’s presence due to his political associations and recent actions. The comments come alongside the release of a new documentary on the Tribeca Film Festival, which De Niro co-founded after the attacks.

Tribeca Festival Data Breach Exposes Celebrities’ Contacts in Plain-Text Backup

A cybersecurity researcher uncovered a Tribeca Festival data leak that exposed 666,369 records from 2019–2026, including public-facing business contacts and a 13,535-entry “contacts” folder with names, emails and phone numbers of stars like De Niro, Lawrence, Jolie, Scorsese and Coppola. The data was stored in a plaintext backup left in the festival’s database and was removed quickly after disclosure; experts warn such exposed data could enable AI-powered phishing and other attacks, highlighting the need for stronger backups and access controls.
