Are you saying data was stolen? Because the headline here is "allegedly." So, unless you know absolutely one way or the other, allegedly is accurate.



Mashable -> Ticketmaster hacked. Breach affects more than half a billion users.

Irish Independent -> Hackers access half a billion customers’ data in Ticketmaster cyber attack

Gizmodo -> Ticketmaster Hack Reveals Sensitive Data for 560 Million People

Daily Mail -> Details of 560 million Ticketmaster customers are stolen in data leak

And so on...

(all these stories/headlines were published on May 29th, on the day when the rumor began to spread)
