Ticketmaster hit by data hack that may affect 560m customers.


Ticketmaster has been targeted in a cyber-attack, with hackers allegedly offering to sell customer data on the dark web, its parent company, Live Nation, has confirmed.

The ShinyHunters hacking group is reportedly demanding about £400,000 in a ransom payment to prevent the data being sold.

The group reportedly has access to the names, addresses, phone numbers and partial payment details of 560 million of the site’s customers.

You mean information like the phone book in the olden days?

What does "partial payment detail" mean? First 4 numbers of CC number?

I'm not sure. A lot of the articles differ in how they list what info the hackers might actually have. I just grabbed what looked like a middle of the road explanation of what's going on. Either way, it could affect a lot of sports fans and concert goers and some articles make it appear the company might have taken its time letting LEO know about the breach.
