Ticketmaster is suspected to have been stolen data to 560 million users. The company kaliforniane did not confirm or deny the intervention. The basis of the data of the 1.3 TB was the order for the sale to 500,000 dollars to the famëkeqin BreachForums. Therefore, the forum, it seems that it is back online, after the intervention of the police.
Doubts about the accuracy of the data
By a coincidence, a strange violation of the data, it happened just a few days after the Justice Department filed an appeal of the antitrust against Ticketmaster and the company, its parent Live Nation Entertainment. By posting, to be published in the BreachForums, the details of the 560 million users have been stolen.
On the basis of the data of the 1.3 TB, are the name, address of residence, email, phone number, details of the order, and some of the information of the credit card (the name of the holder, the date of the skadencës, and the four figures to the end of the number). The price of the sale is 500000$. At the moment, there are no reports of the official intervention of Ticketmaster.
The author of the posting is ShinyHunters, a group of well-known criminal cyber-and one of the admins of the BreachForums. The force of the application of the law, they took him to the four domene be used in the forum, but ShinyHunters was in control of the domain, due to the “bashkëfajësisë of the service provider NiceNIC.
According to the Malwarebytes have doubts about the accuracy of the information. This post of sales was published at a forum by another user. Moreover, the total number of users, it seems to much (even if you Ticketmester is considered a monopolist). Maybe it is also made by the user to the old one.
The Malwarebytes assume that it is a bait to the FBI in order to identify the user of the BreachForums (required enrollment to read the posts). It would be very embarrassing to the FBI, to lose control of the domain to be seized.
