A cybercrime operation targeted StubHub, leading to the theft and resale of more than 900 digital tickets primarily for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Prosecutors report that the scheme involved contractors in Jamaica who intercepted ticket purchase URLs and relayed them to co-conspirators in New York. This operation yielded over $600,000 in profits within a year. Investigators continue to probe for additional conspirators, while two key individuals have been arrested and charged. StubHub has proactively addressed the issue, terminating contracts with implicated vendors and enhancing security measures.
"The cybercrime crew operated an extensive scam, stealing over 900 digital concert tickets and reselling them for profits exceeding $600,000."
"Investigators are evaluating the full scope of the operation, which not only implicates the accused but potentially other conspirators in the ticket theft ring."
