HAVE I BEEN PWNED REVEALS MORE THAN 17M PEOPLE WERE IMPACTED BY TICKETEK DATA
BREACH

Subscribers to an Australian security researcher’s data breach monitoring site
received emails today warning of the full extent of the breach.

A raft of subscribers to Have I Been Pwned received an email today, 28 June,
warning them that their data had been compromised in the late May Ticketek hack.

And while Ticketek has remained quiet about just how many of its customers were
impacted, according to the email, the number is a staggering 17,643,173
individuals.

“You’re one of 17,643,173 people pwned in the Ticketek data breach,” the email
header said.

============

============

“In May 2024, the Australian event ticketing company Ticketek reported a data
breach linked to a third-party cloud-based platform,” the email said in the
body.

“The following month, the data appeared for sale on a popular hacking forum and
was later linked to a series of breaches of the Snowflake cloud storage service.
The data contained almost 30M rows with 17.6M unique email addresses alongside
names, genders, dates of birth and hashed passwords.”



The Have I Been Pwned notification is remarkable for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, the emails that Ticketek initially sent customers on 1 June said: “The
available evidence at this time indicates that, from a privacy perspective, your
name, date of birth and email address may have been impacted.”

Ticketek noted that it used secure encryption to store its passwords, but the
company did not disclose that passwords had been accessed – which now appears to
be the case.

Also of concern is that this journalist had not received an initial notification
from Ticketek but was notified at midday today that their data was impacted. At
this stage, it is unknown if any other Ticketek customers are only now learning
their data has been impacted.

Ticketek declined to comment on any possible discrepancy.

The threat actor Sp1d3r – responsible for several other Snowflake-related hacks
– began posting the Ticketek data on 20 June, the same day it offered
Ticketmaster data for sale. At the time, Sp1d3r claimed to have the personal
information of 30 million customers, including passwords and purchasing data.

UPDATED 28/06/24 to confirm Ticketek's response.
