What have the experts said?
A spokesperson for the Australia Home Affairs Department said: “The Australian Government is aware of a cyber incident impacting Ticketmaster.
“The National Office of Cyber Security is engaging with Ticketmaster to understand the incident.”
Ticketmaster has yet to confirm whether it has experienced a security breach.
Security Researcher, Kevin Beaumont said: “If Ticketmaster has had a breach of this scale it is important they inform customers but it is important to also consider that sometimes criminal hackers make false or inflated claims about data breaches – so people should not be overly concerned until a breach is confirmed.”
