Hackers have leaked what they claim is Ticketmaster barcode data for 166,000 Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets, warning that more events would be leaked if a $2 million extortion demand is not paid.

I’m cheering for the hackers in this scenario.

Hahahaha.

I usually despise hackers, (and the jackasses in upper management that don't permit IT to properly secure systems), but in this case, I love it.

Wish they'd release more and drive TM out of business, maybe that would be the event that gets all these shitty companies to finally improve IT security.
