In June 2018, Ticketmaster notified 40,000 [[United Kingdom|U.K.]] customers that it had identified a hack caused by [[malicious software]] on a third-party customer support product it contracted. The company stated that customers who bought tickets between February and June 2018 may have had data compromised.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/06/ticketmaster-data-breach-thousands-of-customers-may-be-affected/|title=Ticketmaster data breach: Thousands of customers may be affected|date=27 June 2018|publisher=Which?|access-date=24 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44628874|title=Ticketmaster admits personal data stolen in hack attack|date=27 June 2018|publisher=BBC News|access-date=24 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.sky.com/story/ticketmaster-admits-user-data-was-stolen-in-breach-11419249|title=Ticketmaster admits user data was stolen in breach|date=28 June 2018|publisher=Sky News|access-date=24 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.wired.co.uk/article/ticketmaster-data-breach-monzo-inbenta|title=The Ticketmaster hack is a perfect storm of bad IT and bad comms|date=28 June 2018|magazine=Wired|access-date=24 July 2018}}</ref>
Between April 2 and May 18, 2024, an "unauthorized third party obtained information from a cloud database hosted by a third-party data services provider" that exposed personal information including payment-card details. Ticketmaster identified customers whose data may have been affected by the breach on May 23, 2024, but only notified them of this a month later in a June 22 letter.<ref>{{Citation |title=Notice of Data Breach |date=June 22, 2024 |place=Letter mailed to customers |publisher=Ticketmaster}}</ref>
On 20 May 2024, Ticketmaster had another data breach as a result of an attacker compromising their cloud database, hosted by [[Snowflake Inc.]]. The company revealed the breach on May 31, with Australian authorities confirming they are working with the company to address it.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Whittaker |first1=Zack |title=Live Nation confirms Ticketmaster was hacked, says personal information stolen in data breach |url=https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/31/live-nation-confirms-ticketmaster-was-hacked-says-personal-information-stolen-in-data-breach/ |website=TechCrunch |access-date=2 June 2024 |date=31 May 2024}}</ref>▼
