In June 2026, a hacking group known as ShinyHunters published a large trove of data taken from Madison Square Garden Entertainment. Among the files was what WIRED later described as a talent database tracking close to 40,000 public figures who had attended events at the venue, alongside a second and far larger set of roughly 10.5 million customer records drawn from the company's Salesforce system (Source: WIRED; Source: Digital Music News). WIRED reported that some entries carried "risk" ratings, notes on individuals' social media activity, and sensitive demographic categories such as race and sexual orientation (Source: WIRED). Madison Square Garden has disputed that characterization and filed a defamation lawsuit, arguing the fields were part of ordinary customer relationship management rather than any discriminatory list (Source: Fox News).
