Ticketmaster Hack Exposes Data of Over 500 Million Users

TL;DR Summary
Ticketmaster has reportedly suffered a massive data breach, with the personal and payment information of 560 million users being put up for sale by the hacking group ShinyHunters on the newly-relaunched BreachForums. The group is asking for $500,000 for the 1.3TB database, which includes names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, ticket sales details, and partial payment card data. The breach appears to be a publicity stunt to draw attention to the forum's relaunch.
