About This Breach
In August 2020, a backup of the Dutch ticketing service Ticketcounter's database was accidentally made publicly accessible, allowing it to be downloaded by a threat actor in February 2021. The breach exposed 1.9 million unique email addresses along with sensitive details like names, IP addresses, genders, dates of birth, hashed passwords, and bank account numbers. Following this incident, the threat actor attempted to ransom Ticketcounter, threatening to release the data publicly. This breach underscores the need for rigorous data access controls and secure storage practices to prevent accidental exposures.
