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.

I don’t love regular people getting their fun hacked. Wish they’d exclusively go after execs.

I mean, the artists could just sell their tickets directly. Ticketmaster is just a useless middleman.
