Despite the attack causing behind‑the‑scenes disruptions and internal tension, the public programme continued without overt impact on attendees. Management confirmed that no audience data or financial systems were compromised, underscoring the effectiveness of its incident response in protecting core services. The incident highlighted the organisation’s vulnerability to digital threats during large‑scale cultural events, while also showcasing its ability to maintain event continuity.
