Abu Dhabi Finance Week Exposed VIP Passport Details

An independent researcher discovered roughly 700 attendees' passports, ID cards, and other sensitive documents from Abu Dhabi Finance Week publicly exposed on an unsecured cloud storage system — potentially accessible for about two months. High-profile individuals affected included David Cameron and Anthony Scaramucci; ADFW secured the environment after the researcher alerted the Financial Times, and organizers say initial review shows access was limited to the researcher. The exposure poses reputational risk and potential identity-fraud exposure for attendees.
