ReverbNation

In 2014, a massive data breach occurred at ReverbNation, a popular online music platform for independent artists. The breach exposed the personal and sensitive information of over 7 million users, including artists, fans, and music industry professionals.

The leaked data included names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, social media profiles, and even unreleased music. This information was highly valuable to cybercriminals, who could use it for identity theft, spam campaigns, and targeted phishing attacks. The leak had a significant impact on the music industry, as it compromised the privacy of countless artists and their fans.
