A producer’s worst nightmare: having their music stolen. It’s an idea bad enough to shake a producer to their core, and unfortunately two dubstep producers were victims of theft this weekend. Megalodon and Subtronics were both hacked and had unreleased music stolen, with other potential victims looped in as well.
Megalodon tweeted yesterday, revealing someone had hacked into his SoundCloud account and stole all of his unreleased music. To make matters worse, the thief uploaded the the unreleased tracks to his own SoundCloud account. The cherry on top? The thief DM’d Megalodon’s SoundCloud friends, asking them to follow his account… while still hacked into Megalodon’s account. Seriously? Oh, and the thief hacked into Megalodon’s bank account as well.
Some kid just hacked my twitter, stole all my un released music. Uploaded it to his SoundCloud as his own tracks and is now DM’ing all my friends AS ME telling them to follow his sound cloud… kids these days always seem to amaze me

Megalodon said most of the stolen music was included in his recent Shark Week mix uploaded last month, but this marks a huge, illegal invasion of privacy regardless. Megalodon also tweeted some of his producer friends have been hacked by the same thief. The other big victim is Subtronics, who went on a lengthy Twitter posting spree about his unreleased music being stolen and warning YOOKiE to be safe.
and seriously @SCsupport @SoundCloud PLEASE check ur emails or report tickets because this is music that is too be released in the future, hackers are easily gaining access to our private files and we cant take it down when they upload OUR hard work

which existed literally no where else aside from my hard drive and my private soundcloud so the only possible way they could of gotten it was by hacking my soundcloud and downloading my private tunes
— Subtronics (GOD LOVES UGLY) BLM (@Subtronics) August 17, 2018
dude seriously delete all your private soundcloud uploads, i checked all their followers and ur one of them so u never know who they can target.
— Subtronics (GOD LOVES UGLY) BLM (@Subtronics) August 17, 2018
i blocked him this morning and the tune was uploaded like 2 hours ago im assuming he either brute forced into my soundcloud or twitter or used the DM's some how. We have a few people looking into it but i reset all my passwords and deleted everryythinggg

Spag Heddy reached out to Megalodon saying he thought Megalodon asking for SoundCloud followers for another, smaller account was weird. While Megalodon says he can’t see who his hacker messaged, it appears the hacker messaged Spag Heddy and other friends on his SoundCloud account. Artists like SVDDEN DEATH reached out to Megalodon to offer their support.
holy shit is that what it was yeah ? I was so confused. hope u got it fixed G 🤯

We hope this hacker/thief are brought to justice soon, and all of Megalodon and Subtronic’s unreleased music and information are returned safely.
