Hackers have leaked what they claim is Ticketmaster barcode data for 166,000 Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets, warning that more events would be leaked if a $2 million extortion demand is not paid.
Ticketmaster later confirmed the data breach, which they ultimately stated was from their account on Snowflake, a cloud-based data warehousing company used by the enterprise to store databases, process data, and perform analytics.
Today, a threat actor known as Sp1d3rHunters has leaked what they claim is the ticket data for 166,000 Taylor Swift Eras Tour barcodes used to gain entry on various concert dates.
The post claims the barcode data is for upcoming Taylor Swift concerts in Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis.
While the barcode data was not part of the initial leak of stolen Ticketmaster data samples released by the threat actors in May, some of the newly leaked data can be found in the older leaks, including the hashed credit card and sales order information for the tickets.
BleepingComputer contacted Ticketmaster to confirm if this is valid ticket data and if the tickets will be reissued, but has not received a reply at this time.
