Ticketmaster owner Live Nation confirmed "unauthorised activity" on its database after a group of hackers said they had stolen the personal details of 560 million customers.
ShinyHunters, the group claiming responsibility, says the stolen data includes names, addresses, phone numbers and partial credit card details from Ticketmaster users worldwide.
The hacking group is reportedly demanding a $500,000 (£400,000) ransom payment to prevent the data from being sold to other parties.

I bought concert tickets a couple of months ago.
Two nights ago, I got a text at 2:08 AM telling me my Paypal security code with the usual warning not to give it to anyone.
I wonder if these events could be related?
I did change my Paypal password as soon as I saw the text. The new password is **********.
It probably should be investigated as an inside job.
