- #Spotify password reset due to suspicious activity password
Whilst throughout the month I got the odd unsuccessful synch on IMAP and POP 3 from various countries, since Friday night I have received a few unsuccessful syncs for IMAP and POP3. Interestingly I noticed in my "recent activity" list in hotmail some dodgy entries.
#Spotify password reset due to suspicious activity password
Update: after securing my spotify back, I've changed the password and also my hotmail linked account password. The spotify emails I received notifying me of them changing the email address appear to be in French so presumably from there. How the hell does spotify allow a change in email without confirmation from your email account? What sort of strength integrity is that? Any basic function is to require a confirmation email before changing a connected email.Īnd why did they not change my login password and only my email address? Can i assume this password is "compromised"? I use it alot on "basic" websites to login, and my stronger password combos on more important data (banks etc.) - so I am tossing up how much do I need to burn and change?Įdit: my recently played spotify has "A.L.A" artist, "Deux feres by PNL" and "MOdus Mio" by Sero El Mero. I had it translated, and basically it was the email change.
Assuming not?īut it begs the question - how the hell was i breached? Has anyone had recent issues? I did search through my hotmail and I received an email late fri night - totally went under my radar - haven't even read it. My main worry is - have my emails been breached? These are the gatekeepers of all of life's websites and password resets. I am generally 'savvy' enough to not be breached, but this is quite concerning. Now I am just wondering - has spotify suffered a data breach? A quick google seems to indicate other "premium" users complaining too (i am on a premium family plan shared). Changed my email back to a dummy email (under my control) then reset my password. After panicking I firstly logged all devices out of spotify via the web browser. Lo and behold, I had another email address listed: " " - removed the XXXX for anonymity. I could access my online account login on the laptop. After confirming I had spotify emails from this account I tried my "username" as my mobile was still logged in. Alarm bells went off and i was unable to reset my password to my email address - kept saying not found. I noticed the "Listen on other devices" had chromecast suggestions and "Spotify connect" had a SM-J730F device. Tonight I was trying to play a song for the mrs and it kept stopping and i would be "listening on" another device, some other unrecognizable song. Prior to that I could reopen spotify days later on my phone or computer and it was remained logged in.
I have had some issues with spotify having to "relogin" between sessions over the last month or two, but otherwise nothing odd. “We also reset your Spotify password to help keep your account secure.All, looking for some advice on internet security and what they may be trying to do (potential breach of accounts). “We have conducted an internal investigation and have contacted all of our business partners that may have had access to your account information to ensure that any personal information that may have been inadvertently disclosed to them has been deleted,” Spotify said in a statement. However, it neither revealed the details of the vulnerability nor explained how data was leaked.
