Plaintiffs claim the breach was "a direct result of [Ticketmaster's] failure to implement adequate and reasonable data protection procedures."

Several firms have filed a class action lawsuit against Ticketmaster following a major data breach by the hacker group ShinyHunters earlier this year. The suit alleges that the breach was “a direct result of [Ticketmaster’s] failure to implement adequate and reasonable data protection procedures.

In April, the hacker group ShinyHunters accessed Ticketmaster’s database. It harvested the full names, addresses, emails, phone numbers and credit card information on up to 560 million customers. The Live Nation-owned company took nearly two months to discover the breach and four months to notify impacted users.

A lawsuit has been filed against Ticketmaster following a data breach as customers claim they have been subjected to spam calls, texts, and emails.
