The code also suggested that Suno was using proxies to scrape songs from YouTube through a company called Bright Data, which sells scraping tools, infrastructure, and data services. Additional code shows that with the help of an online tool called PodcastIndex, Suno identified 420,000 different podcasts that had at least five, 30-minute episodes and sought to download roughly 1 million hours of podcasts
The hacker, ellie.191, told 404 Media they breached the company by hacking an individual employee using the Shai-Hulud worm, a supply chain attack that allowed hackers to harvest GitHub and cloud service credentials. They said they also accessed Suno’s customer list, which included customers’ emails and/or phone numbers and Stripe payment details, depending on what they used to login. The hacker provided a sample of some of the customers, some of whom confirmed to 404 Media they had used their phone number to sign up for Suno and said they were never notified of a breach.
Last month, The Atlantic reported on several music databases that are widely used in AI training, consisting of millions of tracks: “Three of the datasets I found are distributed as a list of links to songs on YouTube or Spotify. AI developers download the actual audio using tools that automate the job, some of which allow developers to bypass logins, advertisements, and mechanisms that might earn money or subscribers for creators. Such tools violate the terms of service of these platforms.

Do you outsource your comments to an LLM? Got a lot of the hallmarks of AI writing here and in your previous comments.
Edit: yeah I’m like 80% certain this is another automated LLM account. Their profile description reeks of it, and except for the first three comments, their comment length is consistent at all times, there is an overuse of colons and “it’s not X it’s Y” statements, and weird formatting choices across the board. This is pretty much a running advertisement for their AI consultant and news (?) platform.
So we’re reaching the stage where sounding consistent is treated as stronger evidence than being wrong? If every structured comment is dismissed as AI, discussion gets replaced by authorship detective work. Refute the points instead of running a literary CAPTCHA on every reply. Thanks!
Nah you’re just here to advertise your shit AI website that nobody asked for, begone clanker
A lot of their comments start with “Funny how…”
Must have only sprung for Claude Haiku and not Sonnet. Lol
