Coachella

In 2017, Coachellas website coachella.com suffered a significant data breach that exposed the personal information of over 599,802 users. The leaked data included sensitive information such as email addresses, IP addresses, usernames, and passwords. The breach was discovered after a hacker, using a SQL injection vulnerability, gained access to the websites database.

The leaked information was then sold on the dark web, where it could be used for various malicious purposes such as phishing, identity theft, and spam campaigns. The breach caused significant reputational damage to Coachella and led to concerns about the security of user data on websites. As a result of the breach, Coachella implemented additional security measures to protect user data and prevent future attacks.
