MC2

MC2operates as a venue in France that hosts live performances and cultural events for the public. The organisation provides ticketed access to its shows, relying on external ticketing services to manage admissions. Its primary activity centres on delivering entertainment and cultural experiences to audiences across the region.

MC2 is one of over 350 French venues that were affected by a cyberattack targeting the ticketing provider Sirius. This indicates that MC2 participates in a wide network of venues that use the same ticketing platform for event admissions. The scale of the incident highlights MC2's integration into a broader national ticketing ecosystem.

During the incident on 28 June 2024, attackers gained access to a production server through compromised credentials, leading to the exposure of personal data such as names, email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses of MC2's customers. In response, MC2 notified the relevant regulatory authorities, reset customer account passwords and advised affected individuals to change similar credentials on other platforms while monitoring for suspicious activity. The organisation confirmed that financial details were not compromised in the breach. These actions reflect MC2's adherence to data protection obligations and its effort to mitigate the impact on its patrons.
