Ticketmaster Data Breach Canadian Class Action

Notice of Civil Claim
CONSUMER LAW GROUP has instituted a Canadian class action lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation for failing to protect their customers’ personal and private information, including names, emails, home addresses, phone numbers, some credit card details, and other customer information.
According to sources, the data of 560 million Ticketmaster customers was stolen by a persona known as “ShinyHunters”, who advertised on the dark web that the data was for sale for $500,000. ShinyHunters has been linked to a string of high-profile data breaches resulting in millions of dollars in losses to the companies involved.
The data breach occurred on May 20 and May 27, 2024, but it was only acknowledged by Ticketmaster and Live Nation in its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission late on Friday, May 31, 2024.
It has been reported that this data breach was perpetrated by stealing the login credentials from an employee’s ServiceNow account, which appears to have been integrated into Snowflake’s internal IT environment. Signing into this account allowed the hacker to bypass security protections from Snowflake’s single sign-on provider Okta.
