Ticketmaster's UK division has been slapped with a $1.65 million fine by the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK, over its 2018 data breach that impacted 9.4 million customers.
The breach affected international customers who purchased, or attempted to purchase, event tickets between September 2017 and late June 2018; while UK users were impacted between February and June 2018.
The UK portion of the breach began in February 2018 when Monzo Bank customers reported fraudulent transactions, the ICO said.
RiskIQ also said that as a result, it found evidence the skimmer was active on a broader range of Ticketmaster websites than previously known, including Ticketmaster sites for Ireland, Turkey and New Zealand, among others.
"When customers handed over their personal details, they expected Ticketmaster to look after them," said James Dipple-Johnstone, ICO deputy commissioner.
