Ticketek Data Breach

What happened

In May 2024, the Australian event ticketing company Ticketek reported a data breach linked to a third party cloud-based platform. The following month, the data appeared for sale on a popular hacking forum and was later linked to a series of breaches of the Snowflake cloud storage service. The data contained almost 30M rows with 17.6M unique email addresses alongside names, genders, dates of birth and hashed passwords.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Ticketek password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
• Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing Ticketek — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
