U.S. investor and former ⁠White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci was ​also among those ‌whose identity documents were exposed, the FT said. Howard declined ⁠to comment, ​while Cameron and Scaramucci did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. ADFW, in a statement to Reuters, said, "a vulnerability ⁠in a third-party vendor-managed storage environment ​relating to a limited subset of ADFW 2025 attendees." The data was accessible to anybody using a simple web browser, the FT reported, citing freelance ​security researcher and consultant Roni Suchowski, ⁠who discovered it. The server was made secure after the ​FT approached ADFW about the leak ‌on Monday, the report added.
