(Hype Bot) — Hacker Sp1d3r has stolen the first one million records, part of the more than 560 million Ticketmaster (TM) user records stolen earlier this month by notorious hacker ShinyHunters, which are now available for free online.
Live Nation later confirmed that the initial hack included full names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, ticket sales and event details, order information and some payment card data, including the customer’s name, last four digits of the card and expiration date .
The newly released data was discovered by Malwarebytes Labs. Hacker Sp1d3r appears to be a member of the Shineyhunters group.
In a post announcing the record, they wrote:
“Ticketmaster will not respond to requests to purchase data from us. “
“They don’t care about the privacy of their 680 million customers, so they give you the first million users for free.”
The entire 1.3 TB of data is priced at $500,000.
