The Target: Ticketmaster, the world’s leading online ticketing platform owned by Live Nation.
The Take: The stolen data trove reportedly includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card information.
The Vector: While the specific circumstances of the breaches—including exactly what information was stolen and how it was accessed—remain unclear, the incidents may be linked to attacks against company accounts with cloud hosting provider Snowflake.
This breach highlights the extreme importance of timely software updates for known software vulnerabilities, not only in systems directly under a firm’s control, but in third-party systems the firm relies upon as well. The longer a firm, or its vendors, hold out on deploying the most up-to-date software for their systems, the greater the chance an attacker will exploit the issue.

The Target: Cencora, formerly AmerisourceBergen, is a pharmaceutical services provider specializing in drug distribution, specialty pharmacy, consulting, and clinical trial support.
The Take: Cencora's internal investigation, which concluded on April 10, 2024, confirmed that the following information had been exposed: full name, address, health diagnosis, medications, and prescriptions.
The Vector: In February 2024, Cencora disclosed a data breach in a Form 8-K filing with the SEC, stating that unauthorized parties gained access to its information systems and exfiltrated personal data.
This breach is a stark reminder of how strong authentication controls are in an overall robust cybersecurity posture, and that good password hygiene plays a pivotal role in protection.
