Ariana Grande Files Lawsuit Against Hackers Who Leaked Unreleased Footage and Music
A hurdle to the case is that the hackers remain anonymous
Ariana Grande is suing a group of anonymous hackers for leaking unreleased music and footage from recording sessions and music videos. The lawsuit claims the hackers have been targeting her since she began her career in 2011.
The details:
According to the suit, hackers have been invading the digital accounts of producers, photographers, and other people close to Grande who would have access to sensitive files.
The hackers then sell the files for “significant sums of money.”
In 2023, hackers leaked 45 of her unreleased songs.
The official defendants are only “John Does” at this point as the hackers' identities have not been discovered.
What they said:
“[The suit aims to] uncover the identities of these currently unknown and unscrupulous individuals in order to hold them accountable for their invasive and reprehensible conduct.”
“It is imperative to Ms. Grande to ensure — on behalf of herself and others — that such conduct is deterred to the fullest extent possible.”
