## Summary

A data breach at AI music generator Suno has been confirmed to have exposed more than 55 million user accounts, after security researcher Troy Hunt's Have I Been Pwned service ingested the leaked files and put a concrete figure on the incident for the first time. The breach, first reported the previous week, matters both for its scale at a fast-growing AI platform and for what accompanying leaked material suggested about how Suno trained its models, reigniting long-running disputes over AI firms scraping copyrighted music and lyrics.

The leaked data consists mainly of email addresses and, where supplied at sign-up, phone numbers, while tens of thousands of Stripe payment records also expose names, physical addresses, purchase amounts and partial card details such as card type, expiry date and the last four digits. Whoever claimed the breach also released Suno source code from 2023-24 allegedly showing the company scraping songs and lyrics from YouTube Music, Deezer and Genius to train its AI; Suno has acknowledged training on music from the open internet and argues this is fair use, and did not respond to a request for comment. The episode adds to existing legal pressure on the firm: major labels, via the RIAA, sued Suno and rival Udio in 2024 for allegedly scraping songs without permission, with Warner Records since settling and striking a commercial partnership with Suno, while Sony Music and UMG continue to pursue their claims in court.
