Would you believe it if I told you that you can effortlessly generate unlimited Ticketmaster tickets for any event?
And no, these are not the usual fake generators that make you complete surveys or provide your phone number.
A new threat actor has surfaced, offering a tool that can generate Ticketmaster e-tickets. This tool has the potential to grant users access to any concert they wish.
This tool is a response to several Ticketmaster hacks, including the well-known incident involving Taylor Swift's ERAS tour tickets.
In that breach, 170,000 tickets were compromised, along with an additional 10 million tickets for 100 various artists and events.
This new tool has been claimed by the threat actor known as MisterE. He mentioned that the tool was designed to help individuals who are unfamiliar with generating their own tickets.
MisterE states that this HTML-based tool contains information on more than 2 million tickets.
Generating valid barcodes and event details is a breeze. Users will only need to load the HTML file in a browser, choose the artist and event date, and print the ticket.
The ticket generator tool is very easy to use. After the HTML file is loaded in a browser, users have the option to choose their favorite artist and event date from a dropdown menu.
The tool generates an e-ticket that resembles those used by Ticketmaster. It includes a unique barcode and all the necessary event information, which can be easily printed out. MisterE has also mentioned that users have the option to attend a different event that is not listed.
They can do this by downloading the original data dump, making changes to one of the HTML files with the correct barcode information, and the tool will then generate a new ticket automatically.
Why you shouldn't use this
Although this tool may seem straightforward and appealing, everyone needs to be aware of the potential risks involved.
Firstly, it is important to note that the tickets generated through this tool are not authorized.
Attending concerts using such tickets can result in serious legal repercussions. In addition, there is a high probability that the tickets generated will be flagged as fraudulent by Ticketmaster's security systems.
Additionally, the tool and the leaked tickets database are missing a crucial feature: a validity checker. It's possible for multiple individuals to print and try to use the same ticket.
In these situations, only the person who presents the ticket first will be allowed inside, while others with duplicate tickets will be left outside the venue.
Considering the magnitude of this breach, it is anticipated that Ticketmaster will promptly take appropriate measures.
They could release additional sets of tickets or introduce enhanced security measures to guarantee the legitimacy of tickets sold through their official channels. These new measures would make the counterfeit tickets ineffective.
Hackerdose recommends users to avoid from using this tool or any other fraudulent techniques to acquire concert tickets.
So if you're looking to attend future concerts, buying tickets through legitimate channels is still the safest and most reliable choice.
