UK government website cryptojacking
February: Over 4,000 websites, including UK government, US, and Australian services, all experienced the same security issue at once due to a vulnerable third-party plugin used for website accessibility. Countless website visitors became victims of cryptojacking, in which their CPU power was used without consent to mine for cryptocurrency.

Millions of records were lost, services were disrupted, and credit card data was stolen as hackers ran amok over the year.
Ticketmaster
February -- June: Third-party code on Ticketmaster's web domain was compromised, leading to the implant of credit card skimming malware on the domain. Up to 40,000 UK and international customers are believed to have been affected, with information including names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, payment details, and Ticketmaster login details involved in the breach.
Researchers later connected the cyberattack to the Magecart campaign.
