Originally reported by cybersecurity outlets like Hackread and Cyber Daily, The "notorious hacker group" ShinyHunters is claiming responsibility for the breach affecting roughly 560 million Ticketmaster customers. The hacker group is selling the 1.3 terabyte-sized trove of data for a one-time price of $500,000 on a popular hacking forum.

 

What Ticketmaster data was stolen?

 

According to ShinyHunters, this is an immense trove of sensitive user data. 

The group allegedly has Ticketmaster customers' full names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order history information including ticket purchase details and Ticketmaster event information. 
 

In addition, hackers also allegedly have customers' partial payment data which includes names, the last four digits of their credit card numbers, and card expiration dates.

 

How did this happen?

 

As of the publishing of this article, it's unclear exactly how ShinyHunters carried out its attack. Ticketmaster has yet to comment on the situation or corroborate the hackers' claims.

 

However, Australia's Home Affairs Department has confirmed a "cyber incident impacting Ticketmaster customers." Due to the time frame in which the hackers shared their breach, it appears Australian outlets were the first to cover the news.

It's also been reported by the BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c899pz84d8zo

This is a new breach separate from the previous one they had in 2018 (?)

Deserved

Stop supporting consumerism and millionaires in exchange for a night out in a smelly place full of crazy stans and 100 feet away from your fave (5 feet for Ava Max concerts), listening to music with echo.

Love yourselves for once!

Not $500k. That data is probably now out there for free cause each and everyone in that group have a copy and will give it away for dikpics.

You're telling me people are going to see how much I paid to see Mariah, Gaga, Tinashe and other girls only a baguette would pay to see?

 

But I'm not completely out yet.
