\n\tThe suit, filed on Monday in Los Angeles and reviewed by Variety<\/em>, targets a group of unnamed John Does for phishing scams and hacking schemes that have caused \u201cunlawful and egregious theft, dissemination, and exploitation of unreleased content.\u201d Grande\u2019s 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 \u201csignificant sums of money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGrande is suing unnamed John Does to \u201cuncover the identities of these currently unknown and unscrupulous individuals in order to hold them accountable for their invasive and reprehensible conduct.\u201d The suit states that \u201cit is imperative to Ms. Grande to ensure \u2014\u00a0on behalf of herself and others \u2014 that such conduct is deterred to the fullest extent possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe singer\u2019s suit asserts that hundreds of leaks have occurred since she made her music debut in 2011. It claims that in 2019, hackers acquired the login for a Dropbox account that belonged to a photographer who had worked with Grande. The following year, the defendants hacked into the mobile device of a producer who had collaborated with Grande and accessed unreleased masters and demos and footage from recording sessions. In 2023 alone, hackers obtained access to 45 of her unreleased songs and leaked them.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, the suit claims that in 2024, hackers created a Gmail account and domain name impersonating a photographer to get a digital technician to send unreleased photos that belonged to Grande.<\/p>\n

\n\tA representative for Grande did not immediately respond to Variety<\/em>\u2018s request for additional comment.<\/p>\n
