Security News > 2020 > April > Frippin' heck: Watch out, chin-stroking prog rock fans. King Crimson distributor Burning Shed says it's been hacked

Independent record label Burning Shed has informed musos of a digital burglary involving the partial theft of its customer database, though no payment records were accessed.

The advice to customers with poor security hygiene is that if they used their Burning Shed password on multiple accounts with different vendors, do the right thing immediately and update them.

"We have taken the Burning Shed site offline for maintenance in order to complete the security updates," the letter stated.

The Information Commissioner's Office was informed of the breach yesterday and the company said it will "Comply" with any recommendation the watchdog makes.

Burning Shed was founded in 2001 and artists served by the label include Brit prog mainstays King Crimson, Marillion and Porcupine Tree, as well as ambient muso Roger Eno.
