Sony music have confirmed that hackers have stolen more than 50,000 music files from them including Michael Jackson’s entire back catalogue and unreleased material from the late King of Pop. After just over a year of Sony paying £250million for the seven-year rights to the songs following Jacko’s death.
It is the biggest cyber attack on a music company with the stolen songs worth £160million. The theft happened in April last year when hackers attacked Sony’s PlayStation Network and stole the personal data of 77 million registered users. The exact illegally downloaded songs are not known yet, but contain Michael’s entire back catalogue including unheard duets with Black Eyed Peas Will.i.am and the late Queen singer Freddie Mercury.
