Six charged over StubHub e-ticket heist

Six suspected cybercriminals have been indicted over their alleged involvement in a hack attack on eBay-owned ticketing website StubHub.

Thieves got into more than 1,600 of StubHub customers’ accounts and used their credit card details to fraudulently buy tickets for events through the online ticket reseller. The scam – reckoned to have cost the eBay subsidiary more than $1m in losses – was first detected in March 2013.
