"under fire for not disclosing the breach sooner"
I think its negligent not to work with the >40K individuals to ensure that their finances aren't at further risk, but I don't see a problem with publically declaring a breach until you are confident you have all of the details in order.

Re: "under fire for not disclosing the breach sooner"
“don't see a problem with publically declaring a breach until you are confident you have all of the details in order.” Makes sense, unless they have all the information better not to speculate otherwise more harm than help.

Fraud Activity
When a breach is confirmed it should be mandated that the data custodian be responsible for providing fraud insurance/services to the individual. The advice to change cards is a good first step but it doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies that the rest of the >40K individuals are going to heed these actions early.

Re: Fraud Activity
“When a breach is confirmed it should be mandated that the data custodian be responsible for providing fraud insurance/services to the individual.” That may help, I prefer not to have the problem in the first place. I am fan of any insurance it comes back and hurt the public.

“The advice to change cards is a good first step” That is true, better change it periodically than wait for a breach I would say.

Less than 40,000 of its reported 230 million global customers were compromised in the incident
1.7% compromise. My question would be is this the full extent of the data lost or will more be disclosed in the future? To that end, what made this approx 2% acquiring by the unknown malicious actors while the other 98% remained safe?

“ what made this approx 2% acquiring by the unknown malicious actors while the other 98% remained safe?” That is a good question, what some percentages to start with. It maybe that there migh not have been enough times to download all the data, so people at the top of record set were the lucky ones. Just a guess.

GDPR
“Ticketmaster UK has notified tens of thousands of customers that they might be at risk for identity theft and credit card fraud due to a data breach, ” I wonder what is going to happen under the guidance of GDPR now, it will most likely fall under that regulation.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
