“Oh no, those poor ticket buyers. How can we make this right?”
A fit of laughter washed over the C-level executive suite as hardened stoic expressions melt under the absurdity of the line.
For the Ticketmaster empire has fulfilled its purpose once again; to draw out the anger, to be the hated, to consume and regurgitate the evils and greeds of the land.
Lunch is delivered, and that was the last thought on the matter for the day. Talk of vacation homes and weekend yacht excursions permiate the walls; yellowed ever so slightly over the decades.
The delivery driver sulks away, untipped, from the lions den as their phone buzzes with a new notification.

Yacht executions? Not sure if you meant excursions or actually executions… Could go either way with these guys.

Given the number of preexisting huge breaches, I’m feeling a bit jaded at this point.

Back when I was on reddit, in 2019, I tried so hard to bring attention to an (at the time) new bill that was being voted on. Net neutrality had just been killed officially, and then they passed a new bill. This bill said that companies can take their data they have about you, and the profile they’ve built on you, and sell a copy of that information to anyone they want without consulting the user. I was outraged at that.
And nobody listened. I’m not saying that this hack was legal, but whomever has that info now can freely and legally sell that info. And the people who buy your profile can legally sell your profile. As long as it can’t be proven it’s stolen data, and even then ticketmaster would have to be the one to press charges. I have a feeling ticketmaster would just settle for some cash payout instead.
And what about you, the user? Where do you stand in all this? It’s your data, so what are your recoarse options?
Fuck you! That’s what. This is all legal. This is big business. Fuck off peasant!

So… Instead of attacking the company, they are going after their customers. Awesome.
Kinda how extortion works, yeah

Haha! Darn autocorrect. Thanks for catching that.

The hackers have better morals than that
