Ticketmaster Data Breach

Ticketmaster has started alerting its customers in North America to a significant data breach that occurred in May. This breach, which compromised the personal details of 560 million customers globally, was perpetrated by the notorious hacking group ShinyHunters and underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures in the digital age.

Overnight emails sent to Canadian customers urged them to “be vigilant and take steps to protect against identity theft and fraud.” Similar notifications were dispatched to customers in the United States and Mexico.

The compromised data includes names, contact details, and encrypted credit card information. Despite the massive scale of the breach, Ticketmaster has been criticized for its delayed response, as it only began notifying customers in late June.
