I guess hacking competitors is still not a standard business measure. Ticketmaster will pay $10 million for... hacking into the systems of competitor? Reminder: do not use the systems of your previous employers; do not offer access to new employers ... ;-) https://t.co/RYlDyzNyyM pic.twitter.com/IcbnD0mErD

Do not misuse access to the systems of previous employers, this is not only unethical. BUT also: strip off the access rights of accounts of employees who left your organization, block or remove such accounts. This is also a question of #GDPR https://t.co/k2VCCi5DJx

Ticketmaster controls something like 70% of the market but it wasn't quite enough, so the company used stolen passwords to break into a rival site in a "scheme to 'choke off' the victim's business'" https://t.co/Z6Sz4JHdG2

Ticketmaster has agreed to pay a $10 million fine to avoid criminal charges accusing the company of hacking into the computer system of a startup rival. Ticketmaster had already paid $110 million in 2018 to settle a civil suit brought by Songkick. https://t.co/9PlSp8FE85

Quick question on the fine print:

If Ticketmaster paid $110 million in damages and $10 million in fines, do they also have to pay an additional $15 million in delivery charges, $4 million in venue costs, and $5.25 million in fee-processing fees?

Ticketmaster charges extortion like prices, they continually strive to monopolize the market and now this. This company should be taken down hard. https://t.co/d8Jw1YkVRM
