StubHub Wasn’t Hacked. But Its Users Were. Recent reports of ticket resale Internet company StubHub being hacked are misleading. Though their user’s data was compromised, this was not another case of criminal infiltration of the retailer’s data. Instead, user data was obtained through various malware on the customers’ PCs. StubHub’s systems themselves were not compromised in this recent incident, though the company did notify the authorities who were able to track the six individuals who are alleged to be responsible for this incident.
