- Ticketek says a cyber incident may have exposed its customers' personal data.
- More than a dozen flights cancelled at Perth Airport amid a fuel supply issue
- Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's hotly-anticipated fight postponed to later in the year.
Ticketek says a "cyber incident" may have exposed its customers' names, dates of birth and email addresses.
The ticketing company said in a statement that data from Ticketek Australia account holders stored on a cloud-based platform by a global third party supplier had been affected.
Ticketek says it is working diligently to put every resource into completing an investigation.
Federal Minister for the Arts, John Graham says data breaches are becoming increasingly commonplace.
"Sadly it feels like a fact of life to hear about these data breaches as a consumer. So we're encouraging people to be vigilant about it, make sure they've changed their details if possible, and they keep alert about this. But it is something that's been reported and is being heavily monitored."

Chaos has erupted at Perth Airport as more than a dozen flights have been cancelled due to a significant fuel supply issue plaguing the site.
Travellers heading to or departing the main West Australian airport have been left in limbo as a lack of fuel in the supply system means planes cannot be refuelled.
An airport spokesperson says an issue is causing a lack of pressure in fuel lines and local experts have been working to resolve it.
As of this morning, nine international flights and five domestic flights were cancelled with warnings more flights will not be taking off.

A strong weather system that only occurs three to five times a year is sweeping across a vast swathe of Western Australia bringing heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding.
The Bureau of Meteorology warned the cold front is moving across the state from the far southwest to the South Australian border and even as far north as the Pilbara over the weekend.
Meteorologist Christie Johnson says dangerous winds are expected.
"Now we're talking damaging wind gusts of up to 100 kilometres an hour which is enough to bring down trees and powerlines. However, there's also the risk of thunderstorms with this system, particularly overnight Saturday night into Sunday morning. And that's where we could see the risk of destructive wind gusts up to 125 kilometres an hour and that's enough to damage homes and properties."
Heavy rainfall is expected to drench the state with up to 75 millimetres in a six hour period, sparking a flash flooding warning.

NATO foreign ministers have met in the Czech capital to prepare for this summer’s leaders’ summit as the alliance boosts support for Ukraine and countries one-by-one remove restrictions on how Kyiv can use western-supplied weaponry to combat Russia’s invasion.
A day after U-S President Joe Biden gave Ukraine the go-ahead to use American munitions to strike inside Russia for the limited purpose of defending Kharkiv, numerous ministers, including those from the Netherlands, Finland, Poland, and Germany, approved the decision, saying that Ukraine has the absolute right to defend itself from attacks originating on Russian soil.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has reiterated that Ukraine's future lies within the transatlantic military alliance.
“Allies agree that Ukraine's future is in NATO and we are determined to make progress in charting this path. Membership will be Ukraine's ultimate security guarantee. It will ensure a lasting peace and provide the stability needed for reconstruction.”

Mike Tyson and Jake Paul's hotly-anticipated fight is being pushed back from its July 20 date due to the former heavyweight champion's recent ulcer flare up.
Medical professionals have recommended the 57-year-old Tyson does minimal, light training over the next few weeks.
The fight between the Americans will be rescheduled for later this year at the same venue in Arlington, Texas.
'Iron Mike', who has a 50 win and 6 loss record with 44 knockouts, was one of the most feared heavyweights in history but has not fought a professional fight since 2005.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 30 years his junior, has a boxing record of nine wins and one loss.
