TicketMaster hack lame apology

Forums:

I know this was posted but here's what I got today:

Hello,

We are writing to notify you of a data security incident that may have involved your personal information. We take the protection of your personal information very seriously and are sending this correspondence to tell you what happened, what information was involved, what we have done, and what you can do to address this situation.

What Happened
Ticketmaster recently discovered that an unauthorized third party obtained information from a cloud database hosted by a third-party data services provider. Based on our investigation, we determined that the unauthorized activity occurred between April 2, 2024, and May 18, 2024. On May 23, 2024, we determined that some of your personal information may have been affected by the incident. We have not seen any additional unauthorized activity in the cloud database since we began our investigation.

What Information Was Involved
The personal information that may have been obtained by the third party may have included your name, basic contact information, and payment card information such as encrypted credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates.

...Your Ticketmaster account was not affected by this incident, ...

too bad shitheads. you suck.

It looks like they also are offering you another possible scam -free credit monitoring with TransUnion for one year. I am sure kick backs will be exchanged to Ticketmaster once everyone forgets to cancel their service after the free year. 

 

>What You Can Do
As described in the enclosed document titled “Additional Resources,” we recommend you remain vigilant and take steps to protect against identity theft and fraud, including monitoring your accounts, account statements, and free credit reports for signs of suspicious activity. To further protect your identity and as a precaution, we are also offering you identity monitoring with TransUnion at no cost to you. Identity monitoring will look out for your personal data on the dark web and provide you with alerts for 1 year from the date of enrollment if your personally identifiable information is found online. These services will be provided by Cyberscout, a TransUnion company specializing in fraud assistance and remediation services.

Just be prepared for the flood of spam that will come from your "free" TransUnion credit check to the point of not really being able to tell if anything is wrong without swatting away countless tricks to get you to upgrade to paid. 

Keep giving your money to Ticketmaster 

 

you know you can't stop 

Didn't get an e-mail, but I'm sure getting some strange phone calls lately. 

If the hackers know my password, they're one up on me.  Same for AXS.

I know the one I stream with.

Sign of the times, maybe.

You know you don't have to store your CC?

Got my e-mail today. 

Mine too

No email here. I doubt that I have bought from tm in maybe 15 yrs.  Never missed it.
