Singapore Arrests 26-Year-Old Devesh Logendran Over 'Legend of Aang' Leak
1 articles · Updated · Hollywood Reporter · Jun 4
Summary
Singapore police arrested 26-year-old Devesh Logendran over the online leak of unreleased film "Legend of Aang," after snippets posted in April quickly escalated into a full-length piracy release.
Vision Media, an awards-screening vendor used by major studios, is investigating whether hackers exploited its server; a recording cited by THR shows its CEO discussing unauthorized access and an extensive remediation plan.
Paramount's internal probe reportedly ruled out its own systems, pointing investigators toward a third-party breach involving a movie that cost tens of millions of dollars to produce.
The leak became a wider crisis for Paramount: the first X clips drew more than 100,000 likes in 12 hours, fans held watch parties, and counterfeit DVDs are still being sold ahead of the film's October Paramount+ debut.
Cybersecurity researchers said the intrusion likely came through stolen credentials or an API flaw, underscoring how awards-screening pipelines remain a weak link more than a decade after the 2014 Sony hack.

In June 2026, a 26-year-old man was arrested in Singapore for allegedly accessing a media server without permission and leaking the highly anticipated film, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, online.
