Ticketmaster's parent company says it is investigating a possible data breach after a group of hackers claimed to have stolen the personal information of 560 million Ticketmaster customers.
In a securities filing, Ticketmaster owner Live Nation said it identified "unauthorized activity within a third-party cloud database environment containing Company data" on May 20.
A week later, the hacking group ShinyHunters claimed it had obtained 1.3 terabytes of Ticketmaster user data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, as well as order details and credit card information. The hackers were selling the data on the dark web for $500,000, according to Hack Read.
