Ariana Grande Sues Unidentified Hackers Over Leaked Unreleased Music and ContentPreviousNext

Ariana Grande has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against unidentified hackers accused of stealing and leaking her unreleased music, photos, and video footage over more than a decade. The complaint details a pattern of cyberattacks targeting her collaborators since 2011, including a phishing scheme in 2024. In 2023 alone, 45 unreleased songs were reportedly leaked. Grande seeks subpoenas to trace the hackers through internet service providers and online platforms to hold them accountable.
