Hibs contacted Ticketmaster UK yesterday following reports of a data breach.

Earlier this week, the ticketing services company announced that roughly 5% of its entire customer base had been affected, resulting in the theft of customer data, login information and payment details.

International users who purchased or attempted to purchase tickets between September 2017 and June 23 this year are affected.

UK users are also thought to be affected to a lesser degree.

Ticketmaster UK confirmed to the club that the breach does not impact on any supporters interacting through the club’s eTicketing platform.

A statement on the official club’s website reads: “Supporters who have received correspondence from Ticketmaster regarding the breach will have done so because they have purchased tickets through other Ticketmaster platforms (e.g concert tickets).”
