# Suno Breached via Shai-Hulud Worm, Leaked Code Exposes AI Mu...

**[Socket](https://daily.dev/sources/socketdev)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

AI music startup Suno was breached via the Shai-Hulud worm, which compromised a single employee's machine to harvest GitHub and cloud credentials. The leaked source code reveals Suno scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, Genius, and other platforms to train its AI models, confirming RIAA claims about stream-ripping. The attacker accessed source code, customer records, and Stripe payment data. Suno confirmed the November 2025 incident but described it as limited. Shai-Hulud, a credential-harvesting worm that spreads through npm and GitHub, has been active since September 2025 with multiple evolving variants targeting developer toolchains.
