, presumably referencing an earlier $42 million ransom request: “Mr. Grubman, you have a chance to stop that, and you know what to do.” Grubman has said that he will not negotiate with the hackers, equating it to negotiating with terrorists.
News of the hack surfaced last month, the the group claiming it stole a whopping 756 gigabytes of documents on multiple music and entertainment figures. Those include clients past and present, among them: Lady Gaga, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Mary J. Blige, Ella Mai, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Cam Newton, Bette Midler, Jessica Simpson, Priyanka Chopra, Idina Menzel and Run DMC, the hackers claimed.

The group behind the attack didn’t release all the data they had supposedly purloined. To show the hack was real, they released an excerpt from a contract for Madonna’s 2019-20 “Madame X” tour with Live Nation.

“We can confirm that we’ve been victimized by a cyberattack,” the New York-based firm said in a statement to Variety. “We have notified our clients and our staff. We have hired the world’s experts who specialize in this area, and we are working around the clock to address these matters.”
