Couldn't find anything this week, sorry 😔
One final note:
Following on from the Ticketmaster breach... last week hackers claimed to have access to 193 million barcodes for tickets, including 440,000 for Taylor Swift concerts. The barcodes are used at point of entry to concerts. Problem is, Ticketmaster says the technology they use frequently refreshes the barcodes making a fixed-in-time copy of them completely useless. What is this? Criminals not telling the truth, AGAIN? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you
