"The global superstar Taylor Swift is bringing her Eras tour to Australia
later this month, with sold-out shows in Sydney and Melbourne. With Swifties
numbering in the thousands, fans who didn’t initially secure tickets are
understandably desperate to find some.

Enter the many fraudsters seizing this opportunity. Sadly, the Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has reported over A$135,000 already
lost to ticket fraud for the Swift concerts. The actual losses are likely to be
much higher.

Hackers are also targeting the accounts of ticket holders in order to steal and
resell legitimate tickets.

So how can you protect yourself if you are looking to buy or sell Eras
tickets, or just want to keep your Ticketek account safe?"
