Live Nation Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Ticketmaster Data Breach

The lawsuit alleges negligence in data protection after hackers accessed personal information of 560 million users.

  • The hacker group ShinyHunters stole 1.3 terabytes of data, including names, addresses, and partial credit card details from Ticketmaster.
  • The breach was discovered nearly two months after it occurred, with users notified four months later.
  • The lawsuit claims Ticketmaster failed to implement adequate security measures and timely notify affected customers.
  • Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages of at least $5 million, citing risks of identity theft and fraud.
  • The legal action follows a separate antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
