Ticketmaster experienced a significant security breach where criminal hackers claimed to have stolen data from 560 million people. The attackers exploited vulnerabilities in cloud storage services and lacked multi-factor authentication. They threatened to leak 170,000 ticket barcodes and demanded a $2 million ransom. Although the claims may be dubious, the breach exposes emails, phone numbers, encrypted credit card data, and other personal information, leading to a loss of trust and potential financial and reputational damage for affected customers and the company itself.
