Credit card information for about 2,000 people who ordered tickets online 
through PortTix, Merrill Auditorium's ticketing agency, was stolen this 
week when someone hacked into the PortTix Web site.

The breach was discovered Wednesday after someone called to report the 
possibility that the information was compromised, said Janice Bailey, 
PortTix executive director.

She declined to reveal the caller's identity. Bailey said the Web site was 
secured immediately and an outside audit was performed to make sure the 
site could not be breached again. Portland police are investigating the 
breach, she said.
