A hacking group claims it's breached global events giant Ticketmaster and stolen the details of 560 million customers.The group, named ShinyHunters, said on an online forum that the stolen data includes the names, addresses, phone numbers and partial credit card details of Ticketmaster customers. The data was available for $500,000 in a 'one-time sale,' the group's post said.
Prosecutors said the extensive hacking caused millions of dollars in losses to companies that were victimized and 'unmeasurable additional losses' to hundreds of millions of people whose data was sold to other criminals. Hacks are impacting more people with increasingly severe consequences, Katina Michael, a cybersecurity professor at Australia's University of Wollongong, told AFP. The number of people hacked 'will grow, it could be up to one billion in the future,' she said.
