Full timeline through 2026

2018 — site defacement / criminal hack; ~27M accounts in HIBP-style tallies

Cataloged incident. Days before June 2018, Eventbrite-owned concert-ticketing subsidiary Ticketfly suffered an intrusion that took services offline, drew ransomware-style public messaging, and—per specialist and breach-researcher databases—exposed tens of millions of user accounts with email, physical address, and phone fields in leaked tables. Eventbrite had acquired Ticketfly in 2017; the incident is commonly catalogued under the Ticketfly brand but materially sits in Eventbrite’s corporate lineage for platform risk history. Exposed categories include Account contact fields and related ticketing user metadata per Have I Been Pwned and contemporaneous trade coverage. BreachHistory cites approximately 27M+ affected records in this row. See the eventbrite-ticketfly2018 and canonical BreachHistory entry.

Patterns and analysis

  • Mixed intrusion and disclosure events — appears across multiple Eventbrite catalog entries; prioritize controls that address this class of failure.
  • Record-count hygiene — BreachHistory indexes actor-cited figures separately from company-confirmed totals; read each row's technicalWriteup before treating counts as fact.
  • 2026 monitoring — New disclosures roll into this timeline as they are verified or labeled unverified per catalog policy.

What to do if you may be affected

  2. Step 2: Use unique passwords and a password manager—breach rows often involve credential reuse.
  3. Step 3: Monitor official company breach notices and regulator filings, not dark-web downloads.
  4. Step 4: Review OAuth app permissions and revoke unused third-party integrations.
  5. Step 5: Bookmark the Eventbrite company page for new 2026+ disclosures.
