Thanks to your Green Bay Packers tickets or other passes you may have through Ticketmaster, your private information may have recently been compromised.

According to CBS News, the Australian scammers known as ShinyHunters are claiming to have stolen the details of 560 million Ticketmaster customers, threatening to sell the data that includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card numbers for $500,000. While Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation have not issued any statements, the Australian Government says they are investigating the incident with the FBI offering their assistance. Even though Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packers are the only venue within 150 miles of Sturgeon Bay that uses the ticketing platform, relying on Ticketmaster for sporting events and concerts in place like Milwaukee, Chicago, and Minneapolis is not out of the question. FTS Technology Group owner Ryan Hoffmann says scammers will likely go after the people who do not know about the scam first before moving on to other targets. Keeping tabs on your finances and credit report, taking steps to secure your identity, and changing passwords are some of the ways Hoffmann suggests could help protect yourself if you think your information was compromised.

According to the FBI, cybercrime like this cost Americans more than $12.5 billion in 2023.
