Ticketing service company See Tickets disclosed a 2.5-year-long data breach where the attackers accessed the customer’s credit card data.
SeeTickets discovered the breach in April 2021 and immediately launched an investigation with the help of a forensics firm.
On January 8, 2022, the company completely eradicated the malware from its website.
According to the company, the attackers obtained data provided by the customers while purchasing event tickets on the See Tickets websites between June 25, 2019, and January 8, 2022, by implanting a software skimmer on its website.
The stolen information includes:
- Full names
- Physical address
- ZIP code
- Payment card number
- Card expiration date
- CVV number
The company stated that the Social Security Numbers, state identification numbers, or bank account information had not been exposed as they are not stored in its systems.
SeeTickets launched an investigation with the help of a forensics firm and took steps to shut down the unauthorised activity.
See Tickets worked with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover to identify the impacted transactions.
The number of impacted customers and the nature of the breach are still unknown. See Tickets has not clarified if skimmers infected only the global site or any other five domains.
See Tickets warns that users should be vigilant against unauthorised credit card transactions and identity theft.
Additionally, the notice urges the impacted recipients to remain vigilant against phishing emails or other unsolicited communication and monitor credit card statements for suspicious charges.
