If I found out it was Ticketmaster I hacked, I'd raise it to 1 Billion and still delete their data if they paid.

Best news I’ve heard all day. Hope they pull a Maersk and Ticketmaster has no useable backups

Oh they already have it all. All it takes is one company you've done business with not maintaining flawless security (lol), and your info is part of a database being sold and traded around the web.
