LONDON (AP) — Two Britons have been charged with hacking into Sony Music's computers, and a person familiar with the case says they stole unreleased Michael Jackson tracks.
Sony Music Entertainment spokeswoman Liz Young said Monday the company noticed a breach in May and alerted British authorities, who arrested two men.
Sony said no customer data were compromised, but it would not confirm what music was stolen.
A person familiar with the situation but unauthorized to speak publicly said the theft included unreleased Jackson material.
The year after Jackson's 2009 death, Sony signed a 7-year deal worth up to $250 million to sell his unreleased recordings.
Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency said the two suspects face trial next year for computer misuse and copyright offenses.
