Hackers Allegedly Steal Data of Ticketmaster Customers

A group of hackers say they have stolen the personal details of 560 million Ticketmaster customers.

ShinyHunters, the group claiming responsibility, says the stolen data includes names, addresses, phone numbers and partial credit card details from Ticketmaster users worldwide.

The hacking group is reportedly demanding a US $500,000 ransom payment to prevent the data from being sold to other parties.

The Australian government says it is working with Ticketmaster to address the issue.
