Many articles are pointing at Suno for scraping the internet for music, even though Suno admitted this last year in its lawsuit with Warner Music Group. The hacker told 404 Media they also had access to Suno’s customer list, emails, phone numbers and Stripe payment details. 

Media missed the opportunity to investigate fragile cybersecurity systems.

Speaking of data breaches, Wired is being sued for its reporting on MSG’s hacked VIP database. 

Like many publicity, marketing firms and venues, MSG keeps tabs on its VIP guests to better systematically manage their relationships. The breach, first reported by 404 Media, included intimate information from influencers and roadies to celebrities and politicians. 

VIPs’ public-facing behavior, favorite snacks, talking topics to avoid, their photo ‘good side,’ pronouns and sexual orientation, and more were compromised. NYT and others regurgitated the selective information from Wired’s article.

In the court filing, MSG alleges the Condé Nast magazine “and contributing editor Noah Shachtman reported false and purposely misleading ‘facts’ to generate a story with complete disregard for the truth and their ethical obligations as journalists.” 

Many reports are not publishing the source and are repurposing the same quotes. As a dedicated reader, you now have access to the official filing and MSG’s unfiltered perspective.
