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.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.

As of the publishing of this article, it's unclear exactly how ShinyHunters carried out its attack. Ticketmaster has yet to comment on the situation or corroborate the hackers' claims.
However, Australia's Home Affairs Department has ~confirmed~ a "cyber incident impacting Ticketmaster customers." Due to the time frame in which the hackers shared their breach, it appears Australian outlets were the first to cover the news.
Given how many users can only purchase tickets via Ticketmaster to see their local NBA team, I feel like this is relevant to this sub as a sort of PSA.

add it onto the pile of ways ticketmaster fucks everyone
Why would you hack ticketmaster? No one who uses them has any money to steal after paying their crazy prices and fees
I could’ve sworn one of those 37 fees had to do with database security smh
Couldn’t have happened to a better company and I hope this is the beginning of the end for TM
Sooo do I need to cancel my credit card or what
All these fees and they couldn’t protect the most important thing.
Even bigger reason for the government to break those scumbags up
Is that who charged Onlyfans to my Chase card? SMH I swear it was not me!!
Totally coincidence this happens right when Ticketmaster is getting anti trusted.

The CEO will get a 75 million dollar check n retire from this “scandal”
500k?
If they can hack ticketmaster they can hack any normal sized company worth hundreds of millions and demand million(s) in ransom depending on the company and the sensitivity of the data.
Companies these days always keep their data backed up at but its the risk of exposing the data thats valuable to the hackers.
Boys time to get our $5 class action lawsuit payouts! We’ll be eating good in a year or two 😎😎
And this is why I tie anything to ordering online through my secondary bank. Hackers wanna steal the 75 dollars I got floating in there be my guest 😂🥴
I see a $15.38 class action settlement payment in my future
The $3 discount on their services I’ll get in several years from the class action suit will be sweet to never use.
If they never fired Terry Davis all our data would still be secured in a Temple OS vm
Jokes on you, my data was already exposed with Change and MoveIt
Hackers should have just cancelled fees for the PR
Maybe put some of the exorbitant fees into security
All that information is already out there from the other thousands of companies that have been hacked.
It was the Andersons
The Internet already has all my data. Lol. You’re a decade too late, Shiny Hunters.
I feel like so many things have been breached that at this point it doesn’t even matter.
its alarming that we’re becoming increasingly indifferent when something like this happens at this point. Like my data is already out there.
Im not familiar with the data breach marketplace but I’d expect that much data to be worth more
Sick, just entered all my information in last week so I could get paid for tickets I sold
Ticketmaster will get fined and the cost will be passed into consumers
I better call Saul!
They weren’t hacked
They did this on purpose because of the monopoly inquiry.
They just kicking chairs over like toddlers and we’re getting hurt in the process.
