The group has a history of claiming responsibility for major hacks against companies including Santander bank, AT&amp;T, Microsoft and others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">Ticketmaster denied offering any money to the hackers, who had not engaged with the company about the ransom, according to a statement from parent Live National Entertainment. Ticketmaster also stated that its ticketing technology prevented such leaked barcodes from being used as tickets by refreshing barcodes every few seconds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"4778cba1-ce96-4586-b079-d7f7e7290486\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:4,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Ticketmaster hit by data hack that may affect 560m customers&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;4778cba1-ce96-4586-b079-d7f7e7290486&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/article\/2024\/jun\/01\/live-nation-investigating-data-breach-of-its-us-ticketmaster-unit&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0,&quot;design&quot;:0}}\"><\/gu-island><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">Hopeful Swifties probably won\u2019t be able to attend their icon\u2019s world tour with an ill-gotten ticket. Although the data appeared to be from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/article\/2024\/jun\/01\/live-nation-investigating-data-breach-of-its-us-ticketmaster-unit\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">the hacking group\u2019s large scale<\/a> breach of Ticketmaster and Live Nation earlier this year, cybersecurity experts who examined the leak agreed that the stolen data would not be useful for gaining access to an arena. The data could not be used as a ticket because the Ticketmaster mobile application uses dynamic barcodes, experts said, whereas the data in the hack is static.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">\u201cThis data is almost certainly not sufficient to allow someone to recreate a barcode to get in,\u201d said Don Smith, vice-president at the cybersecurity firm Secureworks. \u201cIf you\u2019re running events of the size and scale of the Eras tour, you are not going to make it easy for someone to just get access to a database and then be able to create a fake ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">Despite ShinyHunters\u2019 ability to gain access to the Swift ticketing data, which included information on tickets for nine upcoming dates across the three US cities, experts said that companies such as Live Nation have more sophisticated measures to prevent that data from being used to actually steal tickets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">\u201cIf the thought here was that you\u2019re going to create absolute chaos on all future Eras tour dates, I don\u2019t think so,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">The ransom threat to Live Nation is part of a broader rise in cyberattacks and ransomware in recent years. The attacks have targeted major corporations and public institutions, with analysts estimating that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2024\/feb\/07\/ransomware-gangs-staged-comeback-last-year-says-crypto-research-firm\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">victims paid out $1.1bn<\/a> in ransoms in 2023. The United Kingdom\u2019s National Health Service is still reeling from a devastating attack by a Russia-based ransomware gang in June.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"6353564b-d969-4984-89c2-37c2792e3784\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:10,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Swiftly resolved?

LiveNation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ticketmaster-data-breach-sec-filing-1235030951\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">confirmed the hack<\/a> in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in May after ShinyHunters took credit for the attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">The hack added to Live Nation\u2019s myriad of public relations problems and legal woes. The US Department of Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/article\/2024\/may\/23\/live-nation-ticketmaster-lawsuit\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">sued the company in May<\/a>, alleging it was illegally monopolizing ticket sales and seeking to break it up. Live Nation also faced widespread backlash over its handling of Swift\u2019s Eras tour, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2022\/nov\/18\/taylor-swift-tickets-ticketmaster-live-nation-us-justice-department\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">botched sales process<\/a> leading to hours-long waits, failure to handle consumer demand and tickets going on resale for exorbitant amounts. Swift herself has bashed the company repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">Swift\u2019s tour has been the target of cyberattacks before. In February, hackers breached Australian events company Ticketek, breaking into individual accounts and reselling Eras tour tickets. The company set up pop-up stands outside Swift\u2019s shows for fans to report their concerns and potentially regain their tickets.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"0c515a7e-0bcb-4a58-b2da-0427f3023c5b\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:14,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Taylor Swift: Ticketek accounts hacked as \u2018thousands\u2019 of Australian fans fear for tickets before Eras tour&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;0c515a7e-0bcb-4a58-b2da-0427f3023c5b&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2024\/feb\/13\/taylor-swift-eras-tour-australia-ticketek-pop-ups-details-locations-scam-help&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0,&quot;design&quot;:0}}\"><\/gu-island><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-iy9ec7\">ShinyHunters has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/article\/2024\/may\/31\/santander-customers-private-data-sale-hackers-shinyhunters-bank-credit-card-numbers\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">also claimed responsibility<\/a> for accessing bank and credit card numbers for around 30 million customers and employees at Santander bank earlier this year. The group attempted to sell that information to the highest bidder.
