Legends International, a prominent entertainment venue management company, has confirmed it experienced a significant cyberattack, resulting in the exposure of sensitive data. This breach was first identified in early November 2024, when the company discovered unauthorized activity within its IT systems.
Breach Uncovered and Investigation Launched
In a data breach notification letter, Legends International explained that it detected the unauthorized access. They took immediate action by shutting down parts of its infrastructure. After conducting an investigation, the company confirmed that “certain Legends files” were accessed and exfiltrated during the attack.
Details of Stolen Data Still Unclear
Although the company has confirmed the breach, it has yet to clarify the exact nature of the stolen data. While it has not confirmed whether sensitive information such as payment data, driver’s license numbers, or Social Security numbers were affected, it appears that personal details belonging to former employees and customers were compromised. The notification letter suggests that “it appears that Legends had your personal information in these files because you either worked at or visited a venue managed by Legends.”
Free Identity Theft Protection for Affected Individuals
Legends International is offering free identity theft protection services through Experian. To assist individuals who may have been impacted by the breach. Affected individuals can sign up for the services until July 31, 2025, providing 24 months of protection.
Investigation Ongoing and Law Enforcement Involved
The investigation into the cyberattack is still underway, and law enforcement has been notified. While no specific number of affected individuals has been disclosed, the scale of the company — employing around 5,800 people across six continents and earning an estimated $1.7 billion in annual revenue for the period ending March 31, 2024 — suggests that the breach could have affected a large number of people.
No Claims of Responsibility Yet
As of now, no cybercriminal group or individual has taken responsibility for the attack. Also Legends International has not found the stolen data circulating online. However, the company has urged former employees and customers to remain vigilant and monitor their account statements and credit histories closely for any signs of unauthorized transactions.
While the investigation continues, Legends International is actively working to mitigate the impact of the breach and protect those affected. The company’s efforts to offer identity theft protection is an important step in helping individuals safeguard their personal information.
