Melbourne International Film Festival organisers are investigating a reported cyberattack on a third-party ticketing platform. The outlets report that the breach exposes customer data and that the impact is limited to a portion of the festival’s database rather than all records. The organisations involved say the hack affects about 10 per cent of the festival’s total customer database.
The reporting is consistent across the sources: the investigation is ongoing, and the matter is being treated as a data security incident linked to the external ticketing provider. The festival is examining the extent of the exposure and is working to understand what information may have been accessed.
No source provides further details on the specific type of data involved, the timing of the breach, or whether any customers have been notified as a result. The focus of current reporting remains on the investigation and the estimated scale of the affected customer records within the festival’s overall database.
