Ticketmaster Meltdown: Hackers Leak 39,000 Concert Tickets in Latest Extortion Drama
Hackers have leaked almost 39,000 print-at-home Ticketmaster tickets, including Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters, in an extortion campaign. The tickets’ barcodes can’t be rotated, challenging Ticketmaster’s anti-fraud claims.
Hot Take:
Looks like Ticketmaster’s barcode security is getting more heat than a Taylor Swift concert! It’s time to reprint those tickets faster than a Foo Fighters encore.
Key Points:
- Threat actors ‘Sp1derHunters’ leaked 39,000 print-at-home tickets for 150 events.
- Data stolen from Snowflake accounts of at least 165 organizations.
- Ticketmaster claims to use SafeTix technology to combat fraud by rotating barcodes.
- Sp1derHunters argue that print-at-home tickets have static barcodes that can’t be rotated.
- Ticketmaster has yet to respond on how they will handle this print-at-home ticket fiasco.
