Hackers steal concert tickets of Taylor Swift and others worth Rs 5.5 crore

Two individuals have been accused of stealing and reselling nearly 1,000 concert tickets. These cybercriminals who were working for a third-party contractor of US-based online ticket marketplace StubHub, reportedly collected $635,000 (nearly Rs 5.5 crore) by stealing and reselling the concert tickets, with the majority of them being from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

New York prosecutors have alleged that Tyrone Rose, 20, and Shamara Simmons, 31, exploited a loophole in an offshore ticket vendor’s platform while employed by Sutherland Global Services in Jamaica, a contractor for StubHub.
