Coachella confirm their website was hacked

Last week, a report on Motherboard claimed that someone is selling Coachella user accounts on the dark web. Now, Goldenvoice has confirmed that Coachella’s website was in fact hacked and sent out a message to registered users of their site. Here it is, via Pitchfork:

Please be aware that you may be targeted by phishing emails sent from people impersonating Coachella personnel. Please remember that Coachella will never solicit personal information or account information from you via email. Please exercise caution if you receive any emails or phone calls that ask for such information, or direct you to web sites where you are asked for personal or financial information. Festival ticketing purchase accounts were not affected by this incident, however festival attendees may want to consider changing any passwords that they have shared with others.

The hack was reported to authorities and is currently under investigation. So far, they said that no passwords were stolen and no financial information was accessed, and they have “taken measures to block further unauthorized access.”
