Live Nation confirms Ticketmaster data breach compromising 500 million users

Tuesday, June 4, 2024 at 12:00 AM

(WJET/WFXP) — Live Nation confirmed in a federal filing that Ticketmaster was part of a data breach days after reports surfaced over the possible sale of 560 million users’ data on the dark web.

According to a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed on May 31, Live Nation, Ticketmaster’s parent company, confirms that on May 20, 2024, they “identified unauthorized activity within a third-party cloud database environment containing Company data.” Less than two weeks after the intrusion, the notorious hacker group ShinyHunters posted a listing on the dark web selling the data for $500,000 including names, emails, phone numbers, addresses and credit card details.

In the filing, Live Nation states they are working to mitigate risk to both users and the company, as well as collaborating with law enforcement. At this time, neither Ticketmaster nor Live Nation have issued any public statement concerning the breach.
