Episode Details

A data breach at AI music generator Suno exposed millions of customer records — but the real revelation was internal code showing the model trained on scraped YouTube content. The hacker didn't sell the data or demand ransom; they handed it straight to a journalist. This episode explores the blurry line between criminal hacking and public interest disclosure, unpacking what makes the Suno case different from ransomware attacks, and where it sits on the spectrum of hacktivism from HBGary Federal to Ashley Madison.
