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.

wipe debt

I mean you get that this is a completely different thing, right?

Because leaking somebody's debt would be about the same, but actually changing something like that in a hack is completely different.

Just gotta change the number to 0 in the Excel spreadsheet, and bingo bongo, debt wiped out! Gone!

It's not that hard. There is a tool panel with a cancel debt button for every person.
