See Tickets Vivendi Data Breach
See Tickets initially reported to the Texas Attorney General that 90,000 Texans alone had their financial information breached. Because they are an online platform that does business across the country, it is unclear how many more people have been affected by this. See Tickets' website says it sells 20 million tickets per year. That's a lot of opportunities to steal financial information since 2019 when the skimmer was injected onto their website by a hacker to do just that.While the original Vivideni data breach occurred in 2019, and the company did not shut down unauthorized activity until January 8, 2022. They are now notifying people that their information has been breached. That is a long time for unsuspecting customers to have had their information exposed.
