Generally they mean the same thing. You can use either, but just to be safe.
Sorry for = sorry for something that you personally did. "I am sorry for spilling your coffee."
Sorry about = sorry about something which did not involve you.
"I am sorry about what happened to your dad."

‘Sorry for’ is similar to 죄송합니다 in Korean; you say it when you have directly done something wrong and want to apologise. To be ‘sorry about’ something is a way of saying you have sympathy for the situation that someone else is in, even if it doesn’t involve you. Usually, if you hear bad news, you would say this. You could also say something like: ‘I am sorry that ...’ in this context.
Examples:
‘I am sorry for dropping your bag.’
‘I am sorry that your father has passed away.’
