Ticketmaster is facing major backlash as a hacker group claims to have stolen data from over 500 million customers. The alleged breach includes sensitive information such as full names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial payment data. The group is selling the data for $500,000. This incident comes shortly after the U.S. Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster’s parent company, Live Nation Entertainment. The company has a history of controversial practices, including previously being fined $10 million for unauthorized access to a competitor’s computers. ShinyHunters, the group responsible for the breach, has a track record of hacking and has targeted other companies like Mashable in the past.
