Ticketmaster Hack: No Evidence That User Data Was Stolen as Live Nation Acknowledges Breach

In the Ticketmaster hack, there's no evidence user data was stolen in an attack that Live Nation has now acknowledged the company is investigating.

A hacker claiming to be involved in the attack told the website Bleeping Computer that they had breached Santander Bank and Ticketmaster after hacking into an employee’s account at Snowflake, which provides cloud hosting services for major companies. Australian ticketing firm Ticketek also reported Friday that it had fallen victim to hackers, notifying customers that the names of some of its users, as well as their dates of birth and email addresses, may have been accessed in a data breach. In a statement on its site, Ticketet said the user information had been stored in a cloud-based platform hosted by a “reputable, global third-party supplier”.
