Link's fourth album was leaked by hackers before its official release, resulting in a loss of nearly ten million US Dollars.
After the news was reported by many American media outlets, it sparked heated discussions across the United States and even the world.
Before August, there had already been several incidents of hackers stealing bank customer data and hijacking celebrity accounts to post random messages, drawing the attention of nations worldwide.
Two of these hacking incidents were related to the music industry.
At the beginning of July, pop diva Beyonce's new album "4" was also leaked before its release.
At the end of July, Lady Gaga's fan website in Britain was hacked, and over one hundred thousand fan records were stolen.
This week, music superstar Link's new album was once again leaked by hackers, also causing millions in losses.
A series of major events combined to create panic and anger among the public.
