Scraped ICM Website Reveals 2026 Fields Medal Winners

A user known as Codex scraped the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) website and obtained an early list of the 2026 Fields Medal winners, including four mathematicians. The leak breaks the official embargo and reveals the prestigious award recipients ahead of the scheduled announcement. This matters because the Fields Medal is the highest honor in mathematics, and the premature disclosure could affect the official ceremony and media coverage.
