The federal privacy commissioner has announced an investigation into Ticketmaster Canada, which was hit by a cybersecurity incident earlier in 2024 that impacted the personal information of millions of people.

“Data breaches have surged over the last decade, and we have seen a significant increase in the scale and complexity of these incidents,” Privacy Commissioner of Canada Philippe Dufresne said in a July 31 statement.
