As much as I dislike Ticketmaster and their practices, these data breaches affect real people for the rest of their lives.

Not a good situation and Ticketmaster needs to be held 100% accountable.

Best you can realistically hope for is a check for $7.31 and free credit reports for a year till it happens again.

Or the ranmsomers get enough money to make it no longer a viable business model...

Want to screw customers with hidden fees? Hackers will screw Ticketmaster with hidden ransoms
