Mangione Effect: Hollywood Executives Spending Millions on Private Security as Threats Rise

Breitbart: Executives for OpenAI, Meta, Warner Bros., Fox, Netflix, Apple, Comcast and more are investing at double and even triple the rate they have been into security for CEOs and other high-ranking officials, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The report found that Netflix hiked its security costs by 30 percent year-over-year and spent $1.8 million last year. Amazon spent 50 percent move in the same period. Warner Bros. Discovery found it even more imperative to invest in security and spent an incredible 200 percent more. Many other corporations realized similar hikes.

“There’s a lot of anger directed at people leading these companies, and the threat vectors are coming from different places that we didn’t have, say, a decade ago,” James Hamilton, the founder of consultancy Hamilton Security Group, told the Reporter.

The president and CEO of AEGIS Security & Investigations Jeff Zisner added that threats from disgruntled former employees are growing, and so are the attacks by people who claim to have been wronged by corporations, but the biggest rise in threats started after Luigi Mangione murdered UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson in 2024.
