Hackers had 'thousands' of unreleased songs
Two computer experts who allegedly hacked into laptops owned by leading record producers had "thousands" of unreleased songs by stars including MARIAH CAREY, SHAKIRA, and LADY GAGA, according to a report.
Cops in Germany busted the pair last year (10) amid claims cyber-crooks had targeted leading music industry figures with a Trojan horse virus to steal never-before-heard tracks.
It has now emerged officers discovered "a few thousand" stolen songs on a hard drive belonging to one of the men - and police fear the pair was part of a much wider hacking ring operating in the European country, with up to 100 IT experts involved. Police documents suggest the gang had been working for three years with a "modus operandi that is still largely unknown", according to Germany's Der Spiegel magazine.
