A threat actor has claimed to escalate their attack on Ticketmaster, offering over 30,000 more tickets for various events and providing a tutorial for creating printable tickets. The group disputes Ticketmaster’s claim that their SafeTix technology makes barcodes unusable once shared, arguing that physical ticket types like Ticketfast, e-tickets, and mail tickets can still be exploited.
In their statement, the hackers list numerous artists and shows included in the compromised ticket database, such as:
- P!NK: Summer Carnival 2024
- Aerosmith: PEACE OUT The Farewell Tour
- Chris Brown: The 11:11 Tour
- Neil Young: Crazy Horse – Love Earth Tour
- Alanis Morissette: The Triple Moon Tour
- Red Hot Chili Peppers: Unlimited Love Tour
- Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band 2024 Tour
- USHER: Past Present Future
- Pearl Jam
- Sammy Hagar
- Stevie Nicks
- Steve Miller Band
- Cirque du Soleil
The threat actor challenges Ticketmaster’s public statements and offers a step-by-step guide for creating printable tickets using official Ticketmaster guidelines. They warn Ticketmaster to reset 30,000 more tickets and demand a ransom of $2 million. If their demands are not met, they threaten to leak barcodes for all remaining mail and e-tickets for upcoming events.
