Too Long; Didn't Read
Concert and sporting-event ticketing website Ticketfly was the victim of a recent cyberattack that we now know took the site offline for about a week and exposed the data of approximately 27 million accounts. Eventbrite, the San-Francisco based company that owns Ticketfly, indicated that the names, phone numbers, addresses and email addresses associated with the accounts were accessed in the hack, while financial information like credit and debit card numbers was fortunately not exposed. However, this massive security exploitation is a harsh reminder of the major vulnerabilities that exist in the Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry.
