Ariana Grande Secures Subpoenas to Identify Music Hackers

Ariana Grande has been granted expedited subpoenas by a Los Angeles judge to identify hackers who allegedly infiltrated the devices of her associates and stole unreleased music, photos, and videos. The judge ruled that Grande's legal team demonstrated good cause for expedited discovery, as the hackers remain anonymous and cannot be served with notice. The lawsuit, filed on July 27, targets unnamed individuals for phishing scams and hacking schemes that resulted in the theft and sale of her unreleased content on the dark web. Grande claims that in 2023 alone, 45 unreleased songs were stolen, contributing to hundreds of similar incidents since her debut in 2011. The case is scheduled for a status hearing on January 25, 2027. Grande's legal team seeks to deter future invasions of privacy and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Key Points: • Ariana Grande's legal team secured expedited subpoenas to identify anonymous hackers. • The hackers allegedly stole 45 unreleased songs in 2023, part of a larger pattern of theft. • The case is set for a status hearing on January 25, 2027.
