560 million Ticketmaster customer data for sale? – Week in Security with Tony Anscombe

Ticketmaster has reportedly been breached by a hacker group known as ShinyHunters, who claim to have exfiltrated 1.3 terabytes of personally identifiable information on 560 million Ticketmaster customers.

Live Nation Entertainment, Ticketmaster’s parent company, confirmed that they detected unauthorized activity on a third-party cloud database in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Allegedly, the group is demanding a ransom payment of $500,000 to prevent the data from being sold on the dark web.
