Organizers of one of the Middle East's biggest business and investment summits appear to have inadvertently exposed passport details and other identity information of some 700 attendees, including former British Prime Minister David Cameron and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci. An independent security researcher found the sensitive data sitting unprotected on a cloud storage system associated with Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW), according to London's Financial Times, the first to report on the incident.

ADFW 2025が著名な出席者700人以上のパスポートとID身分証明書スキャンを漏洩 漏洩にはデービッド・キャメロン、アンソニー・スカラムッチ、アラン・ハワード、バイナンスのリチャード・テン氏の書類が含まれた 設定ミスのあるサードパーティベンダーデータベースは発見後に保護された。悪意のあるアクセスの証拠なし アブダビ・ファイナンス・ウィーク（ADFW）は報道によると、数百人の著名人を含む出席者に関する極めてセンシティブな情報を漏洩させました。 アブダビ・グローバル・マーケット（ADGM）によって組織され、UAE指導部の後援下にある本イベントは、金融、投資、政策、技術、市場におけるグローバル・リーダーを一堂に集める主要な金融業界イベントです。 しかし新しいフィナンシャル・タイムズの報道によると、ADFWはパスワード保護なしの公開データベースを保有していており、700人以上のパスポートと国家身分証明書のスキャンが含まれていました。 悪用の証拠なし このデータベースはフリーランスのセキュリティ研究者かつコンサルタントのロニ・スホフスキー氏により発見され、漏洩したパスポートの人物には米国の投資家で元ホワイトハウス通信部長のアンソニー・スカラムッチ氏、英国の元首相デービッド・キャメロン氏、ヘッジファンド大富豪のアラン・ハワード氏が含まれています。 報道書に記載されたその他の著名人にはリチャード・テン氏（暗号資産取引所バイナンスの共同最高経営責任者で、アブダビのADGMの元最高経営責任者でもある）およびルシー・ベルガー氏（UEへのEU大使）が含まれています。 報道によると、本イベントに35,000人以上が参加したということで、訪問者のごく一部のデータのみが漏洩したことを意味しています。これまでのところ、報告書に記載されたいかなる人物もこの漏洩についてコメントしていません。 ロイターに対し、ADFWは「ADFW 2025の出席者の限定的なサブセットに関連する、サードパーティベンダーが管理するストレージ環境における脆弱性」に対応したと述べました。 「この環境は特定された直後に保護され、当社の初期調査では、アクセスアクティビティは問題を特定した研究者に限定されたことが示されています」とADFWは付け加えました。言い換えれば、ハッカーが研究者より前にデータベースを見つけることはありませんでした。 設定ミスのあるデータベースは、インターネット全体でのデータ漏洩の主要な原因であり続けています。 翻訳元:

Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) reportedly leaked super sensitive information on its attendees, including hundreds of high-profile individuals.

WEB DESK: Hundreds of high-profile figures, including former British prime minister David Cameron and hedge fund billionaire Alan Howard, had copies of their passports and identification documents exposed online following a data breach linked to Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW), a major state-backed investment conference held in December 2025. According to a report by the Financial Times, scans of more than 700 passports and state identity cards were discovered on an unsecured cloud storage server associated with the event. ADFW reportedly drew more than 35,000 participants from the worlds of finance, politics and cryptocurrency. The documents, accessible through a standard web browser, are said to have included identification belonging to US investor and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci. Other prominent names affected, based on a sample reviewed by the newspaper, reportedly included Richard Teng, co-chief executive of Binance and former head of Abu Dhabi’s financial regulator ADGM, as well as Lucie Berger, the European Union’s ambassador to the UAE. The vulnerability was identified by freelance security researcher Roni Suchowski, who alerted the authorities after earlier attempts to contact the organisers reportedly went unanswered. The server was secured shortly after the Financial Times raised the matter with ADFW on Monday. ## Third-party flaw raises data security concerns In a statement to Reuters and the Financial Times, ADFW attributed the incident to “a vulnerability in a third-party vendor-managed storage environment relating to a limited subset of ADFW 2025 attendees”. Organisers said the environment was immediately secured upon discovery and that preliminary investigations suggested access had been limited to the researcher who identified the flaw. Mr Howard declined to comment, while Mr Cameron and Mr Scaramucci did not immediately respond to requests for comment, according to Reuters. The breach has renewed concerns over data protection at large international gatherings, where attendees frequently submit sensitive documentation for registration and visa processing. The exposed files containing personal details that could potentially facilitate identity theft or fraud are understood to have remained publicly accessible for a prolonged period, in some accounts for at least two months. The episode comes amid heightened global awareness of cybersecurity risks, particularly for high-net-worth individuals and public officials attending high-profile events in the Gulf. Held annually in the UAE capital, ADFW promotes itself as a leading forum for global finance, investment and emerging technologies, attracting senior political figures, financiers and technology executives from around the world. While there have been no immediate indications that Pakistani attendees were among those affected, Pakistan has in recent years grappled with several notable data breaches, including cases in which sensitive information relating to thousands of citizens was allegedly offered for sale online. Cybersecurity specialists and regulators have consistently urged organisations handling significant volumes of personal data to adopt stringent safeguards, including encryption, robust access controls and regular audits of third-party service providers.
