"Ticketmaster Data Breach Exposes 560M Users' Info"

TL;DR Summary
Live Nation, Ticketmaster's parent company, disclosed a cyber attack that compromised user data from a third-party cloud database. The breach was discovered on May 20, and a week later, a criminal offered the data for sale on the dark web. The company stated that the incident is unlikely to impact its business operations or financial condition. The FBI and CISA have not commented, and experts suggest users protect themselves by changing passwords and using two-factor authentication. The breach occurred shortly before a lawsuit was filed against Ticketmaster for alleged monopolistic practices.
