A 20-second cuddle at a Coldplay concert turned two anonymous executives into global villains, and a viral cautionary tale about power, privacy, and the wrath of the internet.

Tech executive Andy Byron was caught on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert embracing a woman reported to be his company's chief human resources officer. The woman in question, Kristin Cabot, has subsequently deleted her LinkedIn profile. Newsweek contacted Astronomer for comment via email on Friday outside regular working hours.

Astronomer announced on Friday that it had launched an investigation after CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot were caught on a “kiss cam” at a Coldplay concert in Boston.

Kristin Cabot shares a home with Andrew Cabot and married into one of the oldest and wealthiest families in Boston.
