Lots of card payment details leaked in this one - a lot of the articles are trying to downplay it, but it is clear that these details were leaked and were used for fraud.

Monzo did a good writeup on it: https://monzo.com/blog/2018/06/28/ticketmaster-breach/

Ticketmaster will feel the force of GDPR on this one. I'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

It seems that the breach took place before the GDPR was in force.

No, not entirely. According to the e-mail I got; the breech affected logins happening between February and 23 June of this year. GDPR kicked in on the 25th of May.

But I'm no lawyer, so I'm not sure how it plays when stuff hits the fan before the law comes into effect.

Let's get some popcorn.
