Two individuals from New York have been arrested for hacking and reselling nearly 900 concert tickets, including those for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, making over $600,000. The suspects exploited a security flaw in an offshore ticket vendor’s system and resold the tickets at inflated prices. They face charges of grand larceny, computer tampering, and conspiracy, with potential sentences ranging from three to 15 years in prison. StubHub reported the fraudulent activity and worked with law enforcement to address the issue, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring a safe and secure platform for fans.
