Suno AI breach reveals company scraped millions of songs from YouTube, Deezer, Genius, and other platforms for model training
Security issue Provisional 92% confidence first seen
A hacker breached Suno AI and disclosed internal source code showing the music generation company scraped over 2 million clips from YouTube Music alone, plus hundreds of thousands of hours of audio from platforms including Deezer, Genius, Pond5, Jamendo, and Freesound to train its model. The leaked evidence supports ongoing record industry lawsuits against Suno alleging copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, though Suno maintains its use of publicly available content is defensible.
