Did You Purchase Tickets to Tomorrowland in 2014? Your Identity Might Be Compromised


Tuesday, October 30th, 2018 |

De Standaard in Belgium is reporting that hackers have stolen data from 64,000 Tomorrowland attendees.

Tomorrowland is saying that the hackers did not steal sensitive information and that the hack was limited to names, e-mail address, gender, age and postal code, stressing that payment details, passwords and addresses of the users are not included.

“The administrators of the Paylogic ticketing system noticed unusual activity on an outdated system. After an extensive analysis, an old data file of Tomorrowland 2014 appeared on it. The server involved was taken offline immediately, ‘spokesperson Debby Wilmsen explains. ‘When we were informed about this by the Paylogic people, we first informed the privacy commission. We then decided to send an email to all affected visitors to inform them.”

I first went to WMC ’87, the year I started Big Beat. It was an incredibly inspiring congregation of indie labels, DJs, artists, songwriters, producers and dance music lovers dedicated to breaking and discovering new music. WMC has been instrumental in furthering the dance and electronic cause; keeping the community connected, vital and relevant, and serving as an amazing springboard for talent. It’s a fantastic crucible for the future of dance music. Long may it live.

Having only missed the very first year of WMC in 1985, it was 1986-1990 that initially placed me on the map globally due to the international attendance of the entire dance music community. All throughout the 90s I was often getting written about by various high profile mags and websites for having contributed to help break many artists, DJs, producers and remixers. WMC enabled me to bring many top industry people together all under one roof, especially at Groove Jet, where house music officially met Techno in my sets and it’s all been uphill since…TBC
