Online Guitar School Using Digital Forensic Experts

March 31, 2020

According to Infosecurity magazine, digital forensic analysis is underway after a recent data breach that has potentially allowed hackers to access the personal data of millions of users of an online guitar school based in Florida. The website TrueFire.com was apparently compromised in early August 2019 but the breach was not discovered until January 10^th, 2020. This left hackers with months of access to the site during which time they may have been able to harvest not only the current user data but the payment information for ongoing purchases. Luckily, the website did not store payment information long term so only payment information used during this period is thought to have potentially been affected, however, the breach is still under forensic investigation.
