Customers who have bought tickets through Ticketmaster since February have been warned to check suspicious activity on their bank accounts and credit cards.
UK customers of Ticketmaster have been warned they could be at risk of fraud or identity theft after the global ticketing group revealed a major data breach that has affected tens of thousands of people.
There is a dedicated website, security.ticketmaster.co.uk, and customers can also email fan.help@ticketmaster.co.uk.

Thanks for this info @jonsie. I must let my son know. He bought tickets to see the Stones at the Ricoh arena and not sure which site he used.
That's a long time for it to go undetected. Feb-June FGS.
Just a thought...Priority use Ticketmaster, so it could affect many O2 customers as well.

Yes I wasn't sure whether to post this in other apps but I'm sure @Martin-O2 or the other admin will move it if they think necessary.
Apparently they have known about this since April.

And they've known about it since April and we're nearly in July. Very, very bad.
