Live Nation finally confirms massive Ticketmaster data breach. Live Nation has confirmed that Ticketmaster suffered a data breach after its data was stolen from a third-party cloud database provider, which is believed to be Snowflake. "On May 20, 2024, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) identified unauthorized activity within a third-party cloud database environment containing Company data (primarily from its Ticketmaster L.L.C. subsidiary) and launched an investigation with industry-leading forensic investigators to understand what happened.

As appropriate, we are also notifying regulatory authorities and users with respect to unauthorized access to personal information." While the breach has allegedly exposed the data of over 500,000 Ticketmaster users, the company states that they do not believe that the breach will have a material impact on the overall business operations or its financial condition.
