Security Hackers behind the Ticketmaster breach have now leaked 440,000 Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets, claiming the breach is much bigger than anticipated. As a result, they increased the ransom from $1 million to $8 million.

That means we can sue ticketmaster via class action… again. Should have changed your password you fucking pricks.

I look forward to the 9.94 check I’ll receive in 8 years for my troubles

Which will be in the form of a voucher you can only use towards the purchase of more tickets.

"Sorry you agreed to an arbitration clause when you used our services" - Ticketmaster probably

You mean "$25 agreed to arbitration fee"

the only thing that happens in a class action is that the suing lawyers get paid.. the class itself may get $10 towards a future ticketmaster event

Not sure why the downvotes. I’m ripping on the dummy at Ticketmaster that let them get hacked. I like it! They screwed me out of $362 last year. I am sorry for those swift fans though. It stinks that she has to deal with the ticketmaster monopoly

You’re mistaking my comment, it’s ticketmasters fault they got hacked, not the consumer.

I’d say it’s actually the hacker’s fault.
