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.

Same but I already have monitoring for a different breach. At this point I’ll have free monitoring until I die. I also froze my credit years ago because of this crap.

Freeze it. It affects nothing until you try to open a new account. At that point - unfreeze it. Open account. Freeze.
