TicketWeb sells tickets for live music events throughout the UK
Ticketing agent TicketWeb says it is investigating an online attack which saw an “unauthorised party” contact their customer database.
Customers were sent “up to” four emails on Saturday 11 February asking them to click on a software update.
They say customers’ credit card information was not “vulnerable during the attack”.
TicketWeb has contacted their customers asking them to “not to click this link” and “delete” the invitation.
In an email to customers it says they have taken action to prevent further “vulnerability” and that they are continuing to “resolve this concern”.
It added: “We are continuing to investigate this unauthorised access, and will send you a follow-up email when we have additional information.”
TicketWeb is part of Ticketmaster one of the UK’s leading internet based agents selling tickets for thousands of entertainment events including concerts, clubs and exhibitions.
