Company	Ticketmaster / Live Nation
Breach Date	April 2, 2024
Disclosure Date	May 28, 2024
Records Affected	560 million

In May 2024, the hacking group ShinyHunters claimed to have stolen 1.3 terabytes of data from Ticketmaster, affecting approximately 560 million customers. The breach was linked to an attack on Ticketmaster's Snowflake cloud storage account.

What Happened

Hackers from the group ShinyHunters accessed Ticketmaster's Snowflake cloud database using stolen credentials. The group listed the stolen database for sale on a hacking forum for $500,000. Live Nation, Ticketmaster's parent company, confirmed the breach in an SEC filing on May 31, 2024. The attack exploited the lack of multi-factor authentication on Ticketmaster's Snowflake account, allowing attackers to use previously compromised credentials to access the data warehouse.
