Ticketmaster hack: Canadians’ data likely among leaked information - National | Globalnews.ca


According to a data sample shared with Global News, it appears the personal information of many Canadian Ticketmaster customers was stolen by hackers.

Its parent company, Live Nation, acknowledged the potential data breach in a Friday SEC filing, reporting that it “identified unauthorized activity” in a third-party hosted database on May 20 and had launched an investigation “to understand what happened.” The following countries all had at least one complete address listed in the spreadsheet: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Switzerland, China, Germany, Spain, Great Britain, Guatemala, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Peru, the Philippines, Slovakia and Turkey. The investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing on Snowflake’s part and suggested that the attack on its customers was a “targeted campaign directed at users with single-factor authentication” and that the threat actors “leveraged credentials previously purchased or obtained through infostealing malware.”
