Ticketmaster’s Snowflake Meltdown: Millions of Customers’ Data Exposed in Massive Breach
Ticketmaster’s Snowflake database breach exposed millions of customer records, not just “>1000” as claimed. The stolen data, sold by ShinyHunters for $500,000, included sensitive information like full names, addresses, and hashed credit card details.
Hot Take:
Well, Ticketmaster just turned its customers’ personal info into the hottest ticket in town—unfortunately, it’s for the data breach circus! Perhaps they should offer free concert tickets along with that year of identity monitoring.
Key Points:
- Ticketmaster’s Snowflake database was breached, exposing millions of customers’ personal data.
- Threat actor ShinyHunters is selling the stolen data, claiming it includes information on 560 million users.
- The breach was due to compromised credentials without multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Ticketmaster initially downplayed the breach, stating it only affected “>1000” people.
- Snowflake, Mandiant, and CrowdStrike revealed that multiple organizations were targeted using similar methods.
