StubHub Customers’ Accounts Hacked, Authorities Across The World Investigating – Consumerist

Didn’t purchase those tickets on your StubHub account? Well, join the club, because numerous accounts on the ticket resale site were recently hacked.

According to a CBS DC news report, thieves gained access to nearly 1,000 customer accounts and fraudulently purchased tickets for events.

StubHub officials say they detected unauthorized transactions last year, notified authorities and provided refunds to affected customers.

According to eBay-owned StubHub, the hackers didn’t gain access to the accounts through its security, but rather they acquired customers’ login and password information from other data breaches or from key-loggers or other malware on the customers’ computers.
