What Happened at Ticketmaster?
On May 27, 2024, ShinyHunters, the administrator of BreachForums, claimed the recent breach at Ticketmaster. The group has offered 1.3 TB of data for sale, including the personal details of 560 million customers. Stolen data allegedly includes names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, ticket sales, and order details.
Live Nation Entertainment, the parent company of Ticketmaster, confirmed the data breach and said that they identified unauthorized activity within their Snowflake cloud database environment. The cloud contained company data from Ticketmaster. The company has noted that they are working to mitigate the risk to users. It does not appear that Ticketmaster paid any ransom, but it has been rumored that other Snowflake customers have paid to retrieve stolen data in the same incident.
Bleeping Computer reported that ShinyHunters breached Santander and Ticketmaster via stolen credentials from cloud storage company Snowflake, obtained through malware. The hacker then supposedly accessed a Snowflake employee’s ServiceNow account and began to exfiltrate data.
