Will Heath/NBC via Getty Images Ariana Grande has filed a lawsuit against anonymous hackers, claiming that they gained backdoor access to devices that led to the leak of unreleased songs and footage from recording sessions and music videos.
The suit, filed on Monday in Los Angeles and reviewed by Variety, targets a group of unnamed John Does for phishing scams and hacking schemes that have caused “unlawful and egregious theft, dissemination, and exploitation of unreleased content.” Grande’s legal team outlines a pattern of illegal behavior in which hackers targeted the personal digital accounts of photographers and producers who worked closely with her and subsequently sold the data and content for “significant sums of money.”
