Important Data Of Lady Gaga Hacked, Lawyers Unwilling To Pay Ransom

JAKARTA - Lady Gaga's lawyers team refused to pay a ransom of 42 million US dollars after the pop singer was leaked online by hackers.

The law firm Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, which represents Gaga along with Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Drake and many others, admits that they have fallen victim to cyber attacks from hackers using software called REvil.

According to Rolling Stone, the hackers demanded $ 42 million in exchange for the 756 GB of stolen data they think they now have.

After the denial, hackers leaked 2.4GB of data online this week. The data reported includes contracts between Gaga and her producers, stage performers, and other collaborators.

"It seems that GRUBMANS doesn't care about their clients or it would be a mistake to hire a recovery company to help with negotiations," the hackers wrote in a statement, going on to claim they were targeting President Donald Trump as the next victim.

In their statement refusing to pay a ransom for information regarding Lady Gaga, Grubmans wrote:

“Our elections, our governments, and our personal information are under increasing attack by foreign cyber criminals. Law firms are not immune from this malicious activity.

“Despite our large investment in high-tech security, foreign cyber-cyber players have hacked into our network and are demanding 42 million US dollars in ransom. We work directly with federal law enforcement and continue to work around the clock with the world's leading experts to address these situations.

They added: “We thank our clients for their incredible support and for acknowledging that no one is safe from cyber terrorism today. We continue to represent our clients with the best possible professionalism worthy of their elite status, exercising the quality, integrity and excellence that have made us the number one media and entertainment law firm in the world. "

Previously, Lady Gaga's Stupid Love tracklist, album cover and single were also leaked online earlier. This material will be included in his sixth album Chromatica which will be released on 29 May.
