TAIT, one of the world's leading live event solutions providers, disclosed a data breach that led to the exposure of personal and financial information stored on a server and on the email accounts of some of its employees.

TAIT "worked on 17 of the top 20 highest-grossing concert tours of all time" [1] and its client roster includes NASA, Disney, Universal, Nike, Metallica, U2, Microsoft, MTV, The Olympics, Eurovision, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, and many others.
Server and email logins reset
The data breach was discovered on April 6, 2020, when TAIT noticed that an unauthorized party gained access to one of the company's servers and the email accounts of several TAIT employees.
The following investigation revealed that the attackers initially hacked into the TAIT's servers almost two months earlier, on February 16, 2020.

"TAIT has addressed the security issues resulting in this incident, taking steps such as resetting the login credentials for TAIT’s servers and email system," the company said in a data breach notification.

BleepingComputer asked TAIT for more details on the number of individuals affected in the breach and if both customers and employees were impacted but did not hear back at the time of publication.
