Breach Details Suno AI's Massive Music Scraping for Training
A hacker breached Suno AI and provided data to 404 Media, revealing that the company scraped tens of millions of songs and lyrics from platforms including YouTube Music, Deezer, Genius, Pond5, Jamendo, Freesound, IMSLP and various podcasts. The leaked files reportedly include scraping instructions, dataset sizes, and even use of proxies to access YouTube content. The breach also exposed some Suno customers’ emails and Stripe payment details. Suno maintains its models were trained on publicly available data and says a 2025 security incident was limited, highlighting ongoing debates about fair use and the legality of AI training on copyrighted material in the music industry.
