If you haven’t changed the password on your Ticketmaster account recently, you probably want to. The online ticket sales company is continuing to deal with the fallout from a data breach earlier this year affecting over 500 million customers, and customers are taking the brunt of impact.
Business Insider reported yesterday about a string customers checking their emails only to discover that someone had broken into their Ticketmaster accounts and transferred their tickets away:
In September, Vashti-Jasmine McKenzie noticed an event had mysteriously vanished from her Google Calendar. It was a reminder for an Usher concert in Dallas on October 5, synced with her Ticketmaster account.
McKenzie opened her email to a shock: The night before, a stranger had broken into her account, accessed McKenzie’s two tickets, which she had paid $550 for, and transferred them out of her account.
