US EditionEurovision bring in lawyers days before grand final over 'potential hack' - Manchester Evening News
- The Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland, has brought in lawyers days before the grand final on May 17 after rehearsal footage leaked online due to a potential hack.
- The leak occurred despite intensive rehearsals of all elements for the first semi-final on May 13, and the European Broadcasting Union acknowledged varying technology levels and hacking risks among members.
- The EBU is collaborating with legal advisors, cyber security specialists, and online platforms to remove leaked footage and safeguard both the performers and the quality of the event amid ongoing protests and heightened security arrangements.
- The Netherlands returns after last year's disqualification of Joost Klein, whose case sparked controversy and discussions with the EBU, while Canadian singer Celine Dion, a previous winner, sent a video wishing luck but ruled out a return.
- The situation suggests increased cybersecurity vigilance and legal interventions are shaping Eurovision 2025, with fan demonstrations and political tensions highlighting challenges for the event's organizers.
