Cybersecurity analysts RiskIQ have identified the hacker group Magecart as the origin of the skimmer code placed on Ticketmaster websites, and suggested the number impacted by their theft of payment details is likely significantly worse than first thought.

Ticketmaster is a subsidiary of Live Nation, the world’s largest entertainment ticketing sales and marketing company. Last month we reported how potentially millions of Ticketmaster customers’ payment details had been accessed by a hacker group.

RiskIQ state in their report that Magecart not only perpetrated this attack, but have been operating a massive credit card skimming operation that has affected over 800 e-commerce websites and could be the largest theft of credit card details to date.
