Originally reported by cybersecurity outlets like Hackread and Cyber Daily, The "notorious hacker group" ShinyHunters is claiming responsibility for the breach affecting roughly 560 million Ticketmaster customers. The hacker group is selling the 1.3 terabyte-sized trove of data for a one-time price of $500,000 on a popular hacking forum.
According to ShinyHunters, this is an immense trove of sensitive user data.
The group allegedly has Ticketmaster customers' full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order history information including ticket purchase details and Ticketmaster event information.
In addition, hackers also allegedly have customers' partial payment data which includes names, the last four digits of their credit card numbers, and card expiration dates.

I figured it might be a good idea to share this as a PSA for anyone who purchased a Raptors ticket or any NBA, NHL, etc. tickets via Ticketmaster in the the past few years given the information that may have been compromised.
