See Tickets Vivendi Data Breach
What’s This About?
Have you purchased tickets to a music festival or other live entertainment event using the See Tickets website in the last three years? Your financial information may have been stolen and you may be owed compensation. An investigation is being done with the aim of holding the companies involved accountable to safeguard sensitive consumer data.
See Tickets Vivendi Data Breach
Claims are currently being evaluated for those folks who claim that they had their highly sensitive information exposed recently as a result of See Tickets’ failure to safeguard their data.
See Tickets has not revealed how many people’s information was compromised in the breach, but they reported to the Texas Attorney General that 90,000 Texans alone had their financial information breached. Because they are an online platform that does business across the country, it is unclear how many more people have been affected by this. See Tickets’ website says it sells 20 million tickets per year. That’s a lot of opportunities to steal financial information since 2019 when the skimmer was injected onto their website by a hacker to do just that.
While the original Vivideni data breach occurred in 2019, and the company did not shut down unauthorized activity until January 8, 2022. They are now notifying people that their information has been breached. That is a long time for unsuspecting customers to have had their information exposed.
This created an enormous risk of credit card fraud since bad actors have all of the information they need to access people’s financial accounts now and make purchases or steal money, and because they were able to do so undetected for so long.
What Personal Information May Have Been Hacked in the See Tickets Data Breach?
On October 25, 2022, See Tickets, owned by an overseas media company named Vivendi, confirmed a data breach which was ongoing for over two and a half years. Customers who used See Tickets to purchase tickets at any time between June 25, 2019 and January 8, 2022 may have had their information stolen by malicious hackers, including:
• Names
• Addresses
• Credit or debit card numbers
• CVV numbers (3 digit card security code)
• Zip codes
How Do I Qualify?
See Tickets says it notified affected customers by email. If you received an email from them alerting you that your information was exposed, you may have a case. You would have received a notification from Vivendi, or from See Tickets. ‘See Tickets’ is the name of the international ticketing company owned by its umbrella company, Vivenda SA.
How Much Can I Get?
It is possible to file a claim form to explore whether and how much you are owed in terms of compensation depending on the circumstances around your individual case and how the See Tickets data breach affected you.
