Hacker Leaks Suno AI Training Data and Source Code
Leaked code reveals large-scale scraping of music platforms.
Event Overview
A hacker using the Shai-Hulud worm breached Suno and shared source code and data with 404 Media. The leaked files reveal that Suno scraped millions of music clips and hours of audio from platforms including YouTube Music, Deezer, Genius, Pond5, and podcasts, potentially using a third-party tool called Bright Data. This evidence supports ongoing lawsuits by the RIAA, UMG, and Sony alleging that Suno engaged in unlawful 'stream ripping' of copyrighted content.
