As others have said, everyone needs to read this article. This isn’t limited to only MSG or celebrities, that’s just the hook.

ALSO IN THE hacker collective's data dump is a second, far larger database. It contains over 10.5 million entries peppered with people's personal information, which appears to be pulled from the Garden's Salesforce customer management system.
Some entries were added as far back as 2012, and others were edited as recently as June 6. In this database are 9,782,361 unique emails, 2,820,221 unique phone numbers, and 2,956 entries that include birth dates. One of the reporters on this story is included in the database, as is Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York City. (As a member of New York's State Assembly last year, he cosponsored a bill banning places like Madison Square Garden from collecting any biometric data.)

The ShinyHunters member claimed they targeted MSG, in part, because of Dolan's surveillance practices, which includes scanning the faces of everyone who enters his company's venues, from the Sphere in Las Vegas to Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan to the Garden itself. The leaked documents that WIRED reviewed did not appear to include patrons' face-recognition data but did contain multiple complaints from people who believed they were erroneously added to a biometric-driven blacklist. ShinyHunters believed MSG would be motivated to protect the information. "Yes we thought they would pay for that reason, but they surprisingly did not," the member told
404 Media.
