A cybersecurity researcher revealed this week that Anthropic's Claude artificial intelligence assisted him in discovering a flaw that could have allowed anyone with the exploit to issue free tickets to almost every major U.S. music festival and access sensitive customer information.
WIRED detailed that Ian Carroll said he used Claude Opus 4.7 to help identify and exploit a security weakness in Front Gate Tickets, the Live Nation-owned ticketing platform that manages admissions for many of the country's largest festivals, including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, South by Southwest, Austin City Limits and dozens of others.
