Australia’s Department of Home Affairs is investigating reports a criminal group is allegedly attempting to sell the data of 560 million Ticketmaster users. The user purporting to be hacking group ShinyHunters is advertising the sale of the stolen data, claiming it hacked the ticketing giant, owned by Live Nation. The posts advertise the sale of the details, totalling 1.3 terabytes, including names, credit card information, addresses, and emails, for $US500,000 .
“Users of their service should be cautious of any communications purporting to be from the organisation and, if credit card details were saved with Ticketmaster it would be advisable to contact your card issuer,” he said. “We are also likely to see scams that use the story as a ‘hook’ to target victims - not necessarily just the cyber criminals involved in the incident. Never click on links in unsolicited emails or SMS messages and independently validate the legitimacy of calls.
