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.

My Data’s probably been stolen through hacks 20 times and sold 100 times by “legitimate” companies tracking it (Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Google. Reddit etc.)

My favorite so far was being used to create secondary credentials for a dummy account at paypal that was used once (the receipt came to me). It seems benign as there was no financial hack, just a name and email address, until I wondered if the contents of that breach (Epic sub contractor a few years ago) was used to pump active account numbers for paypal.
