Ariana Grande filed a lawsuit on Monday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against the currently unidentified hackers who allegedly stole and leaked private content. It aims to \u201cuncover the identities of these currently unknown and unscrupulous individuals,\u201d referred to as \u201cJohn Doe 1 and John Does 2 through 100.\u201d The lawsuit also says that \u201cIn 2023 alone, 45 unreleased songs\u201d were \u201chacked, stolen, and leaked,\u201d adding that hundreds of similar leaks have happened since Grande\u2019s music debut in 2011.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The stolen content is said to include \u201cstill-in-production, unreleased masters and demos, footage from recording sessions, music videos, behind-the-scenes photographs and videos, as well as album and photoshoot outtakes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The lawsuit accuses the unidentified hackers of selling the content, as well as publishing it on social media platforms like X, TikTok, and YouTube. It claims their actions are invading her privacy and violating California\u2019s Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act, a law against unauthorized computer access that has come up in cases including Sony\u2019s lawsuit against George Hotz<\/a> and Meta\u2019s lawsuit against the Pegasus spyware<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As reported earlier by Variety<\/em><\/a>, the lawsuit claims the hackers have repeatedly targeted people who work with Grande. In one incident in 2019, hackers stole Grande\u2019s photos from a photographer\u2019s Dropbox account. The following year, unreleased footage was stolen from a producer\u2019s hacked \u201cmobile device.\u201d In 2024, scammers used phishing emails to get unreleased photos from a technician working with one of Grande\u2019s photographers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
