Earlier this month, the hacker group ShinyHunters managed to leak 170,000 Taylor Swift tickets and breach Ticketmaster, a leading provider of booking and ticketing services in the arts and entertainment industry.
This release was meant to serve as a warning message to Ticketmaster, requesting payment of $2 million to avoid the public disclosure of millions of users' information and event barcodes for upcoming concerts organized by the company.
Ticketmaster, an established brand in the industry, recently encountered a significant data breach that impacted a staggering 560 million users.
There is a connection between this breach and the attacks on the cloud provider Snowflake, which also affected the financial services company Santander. In the face of the threat,
Ticketmaster remained solid and refused to give in to the hackers' demands. They confidently stated that the leaked data was rendered useless thanks to their innovative SafeTix technology.
“Ticketmaster's SafeTix technology protects tickets by automatically refreshing a new and unique barcode every few seconds so it cannot be stolen or copied.” The company responded.
With that, Sp1d3rHunters has recently made another move by releasing a whopping 10 million Ticketmaster event tickets. These tickets include shows by popular artists like Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, and Justin Timberlake, among others.
Compared to the leaked barcodes, these are E-tickets that can be easily printed at home. This renders Ticketmaster's SafeTix technology ineffective in this scenario, as the barcodes on printed tickets remain unchanged.
