It is perhaps a good idea to update your password.
According to reports from TechCrunch has hundreds of Spotify information like email, username, password, account types and other details, appeared on the website pastebin.
Information leaked
TechCrunch have made contact with a handful of victims through email and they have confirmed that these Spotify accounts were attacked just days ago.
Spotify for its part states that “they have not been hacked” and that “user information is secure.” Thus, it is unclear how these accounts were acquired because they are specific to Spotify and not some random information.
Spotify denies
In addition to include information such as account type, also includes pastebin-post also data when the subscription auto renewal and which country the account was created. accounts are not just limited to the United States.
the people that TechCrunch has been in contact with, said they discovered the attack on several ways. One says that it has been added to new music collection while another says that suddenly appeared music in “recently played songs.”
It is uncertain to say about Spotify actually been hacked, since the company refuses, but TechCrunch seems certain that there must have been some kind of security breach.
it may be wise to update their password, just in case.
