The leaked data is claimed to consist of roughly 5,000 repositories and 3.6 million files, including blueprints, Wordle, email marketing, ad reports, and mostly unencrypted data.

Past cyberattacks on media organizations like The New York Times and Disney highlight the growing threat of cybercrime and the need for enhanced security measures.

A hacker associated with Club Penguin breached Disney's servers, leading to the leak of 2.5GB of sensitive corporate data, which was part of a larger breach of Disney's Confluence server.

Cybercrime group ShinyHunters claimed to be behind the breach and to be in possession of personal data from over 500 million accounts. The group is offering to sell the data on the dark web.

Live Nation is investigating the data breach, cooperating with law enforcement, and taking steps to mitigate risks to users, but the breach is not expected to have a significant impact on the company's business or finances.

The data breach may be linked to attacks against company accounts with cloud hosting provider Snowflake, and the incident could lead to scams involving fake ticket sales, exposing individuals in the U.S., Canada, and New Zealand.

The U.S. Justice Department sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster on May 23, accusing them of running an illegal monopoly over live events in America, and a consumer class action lawsuit is seeking $5 billion in damages against the companies.

Australian authorities are aware of the Ticketek cyber incident and are advising Australians to remain vigilant against potential scams and phishing emails and to enhance their online security measures.

The Iranian-linked hacker group claimed it had managed to access data from various sites and apps serviced by Cyberserve, a web hosting company that provides other companies with servers and data storage throughout a wide range of industries.

The group had originally promised that it would not leak the private information of approximately a million people registered to the LGBT dating app if it was paid the ransom in full. They failed to mention what was going to happen to the data garnered from other companies and institutions.

After the deadline had passed, the hacker group announced their intention to follow through on the threat on Telegram, communicating in broken English.

"48 hours ended! Nobody send us money. They try to chat us, we will show you our chats. Data will be uploaded soon. But this is not the end, we have more plan," wrote the group. They then proceeded to upload screenshots of chats they purport took place between them and CyberServe, in which a counteroffer of $250,000 in bitcoin was made but seemingly rejected by the hackers.

"Do u really want to mess up with [the] Israel government, because this will end badly for u," wrote the alleged representative after signs that the group had no desire to accept their counteroffer, even after it had been raised to $350,000 in bitcoin. He also warned them of Israeli "cybercrime investigators", saying they would come after them, to no avail.

Cyberserve denied claims by Black Shadow that the screenshots represent a delegate of their company, emphasizing that they have not nor do they intend to conduct any sort of negotiations with the group.
