爱莉安娜·格兰德起诉多年来泄露其歌曲和视频的黑客

Ariana Grande filed a lawsuit on Monday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against the currently unidentified hackers who allegedly stole and leaked private content. It aims to “uncover the identities of these currently unknown and unscrupulous individuals,” referred to as “John Doe 1 and John Does 2 through 100.” The lawsuit also says that “In 2023 alone, 45 unreleased songs” were “hacked, stolen, and leaked,” adding that hundreds of similar leaks have happened since Grande’s music debut in 2011.

爱莉安娜·格兰德(Ariana Grande)周一在洛杉矶县高等法院提起诉讼,起诉目前身份不明的黑客,指控他们窃取并泄露了她的私人内容。该诉讼旨在“揭露这些目前未知且肆无忌惮的个人身份”,他们在诉讼中被称为“John Doe 1”以及“John Does 2 至 100”。诉讼还指出,“仅在 2023 年,就有 45 首未发行的歌曲”被“黑客攻击、窃取和泄露”,并补充说自格兰德 2011 年出道以来,已经发生了数百起类似的泄露事件。

The stolen content is said to include “still-in-production, unreleased masters and demos, footage from recording sessions, music videos, behind-the-scenes photographs and videos, as well as album and photoshoot outtakes.”

据称,被窃取的内容包括“制作中、未发行的母带和演示曲目、录音室片段、音乐视频、幕后照片和视频,以及专辑和拍摄花絮”。

The lawsuit accuses the unidentified hackers of selling the content, as well as publishing it on social media platforms like X, TikTok, and YouTube. It claims their actions are invading her privacy and violating California’s Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act, a law against unauthorized computer access that has come up in cases including Sony’s lawsuit against George Hotz and Meta’s lawsuit against the Pegasus spyware.

诉讼指控这些身份不明的黑客不仅出售这些内容,还在 X、TikTok 和 YouTube 等社交媒体平台上发布它们。诉讼声称,他们的行为侵犯了她的隐私,并违反了加利福尼亚州的《综合数据访问与欺诈法》(Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act)。这是一项针对未经授权访问计算机行为的法律,曾出现在索尼起诉乔治·霍茨(George Hotz)以及 Meta 起诉飞马(Pegasus)间谍软件等案件中。

As reported earlier by Variety, the lawsuit claims the hackers have repeatedly targeted people who work with Grande. In one incident in 2019, hackers stole Grande’s photos from a photographer’s Dropbox account. The following year, unreleased footage was stolen from a producer’s hacked “mobile device.” In 2024, scammers used phishing emails to get unreleased photos from a technician working with one of Grande’s photographers.

据《综艺》(Variety)此前报道,诉讼称黑客多次将目标对准与格兰德合作的人员。在 2019 年的一起事件中,黑客从一名摄影师的 Dropbox 账户中窃取了格兰德的照片。次年,未公开的视频片段从一名制作人被黑的“移动设备”中被窃取。2024 年,诈骗者利用钓鱼邮件从格兰德的一位摄影师的助手那里获取了未公开的照片。
