Goldenvoice, producer of the yearly Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals, announced today that certain ticket buyers affected by an unauthorized and illegal hack into its database are being offered one year of complimentary identity protection services.
From last September through February, an unauthorized third-party gained access to information collected in connection with the 2016 Coachella Music
and Arts Festival and 2016 Stagecoach: California’s Country Music Festival, Goldenvoice officials said. Upon learning of the intrusion, the company opened an investigation, notified law enforcement and engaged a forensic IT firm.
