Australia's government said Thursday its cyber security office was "engaging" with US-based Ticketmaster after a hacking group claimed to have accessed the details of 560 million global customers.

The well-known hacking group ShinyHunters posted evidence of the hack on the dark web, according to a screenshot shared widely on social media, claiming to have swiped the personal details of more than half a billion clients.
