BERLIN, DE (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Kartenhaus.de, a German Ticketmaster company has informed its customers that its security was compromised and that credit card information for 66,000 of its customers had been stolen.

The attackers apparently remain unknown but Ticketmaster reports that it is working closely with a team of "credit, security and technology" experts to investigate the attack and take steps to prevent it from happening again.
