A Ticketmaster Breach May Have Exposed 560 Million Customers

Concertgoers regularly complain about Ticketmaster’s hidden fees and alleged monopolistic behavior.

We usually learn of a data breach after it’s been formally announced by the affected company.

ShinyHunters wants to sell the data for $500,000a bargain, all things considered.

And, interestingly, this stunt may be more about notoriety than money.

BreachForums, which is partially operated by ShinyHunters, was shut down by the FBI just two weeks ago.

Now, it’s been revived with a listing that could potentially affect half a billion people.

The fact that ShinyHunters chose Ticketmaster as its victim also contributes to the “notoriety” narrative.

We’re still waiting for Ticketmaster to issue a formal statement.

In any case, now’s a good time tolog into Ticketmaster and reset your password.
