In late May the hacking group ShinyHunters claimed to have obtained personal details from more than 500 million Ticketmaster customers and was offering the data for sale on the dark web, and the company has now confirmed that customer data may have been "exposed".
In an email sent to affected customers, Ticketmaster confirmed that they'd identified "unauthorised activity" in a cloud database operated by a third party, and that the personal information of "some customers" who bought tickets to events in North America (U.S., Canada and/or Mexico) may have been open to compromise.
