Pop star Ariana Grande has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles court against unnamed hackers who she alleges obtained unreleased music, private photographs, and video footage. According to Grande’s legal filing, the stolen materials were sold online.
The lawsuit does not identify the specific hackers involved, instead using the legal process to compel the disclosure of their identities. Grande’s legal team has stated that the lawsuit aims to identify “wrongdoers who hide in the shadows and wreak technological havoc with impunity,” using the legal discovery process as a tool to uncover who is responsible for the breach.
