MANILA, Philippines – The account credentials for hundreds of Spotify accounts were leaked via a Pastebin page dated Saturday, April 23, according to a new report by TechCrunch.
The account credentials leaked includes emails, usernames, passwords, the account type, and additional details such as the country the account was made in, and when the subscription auto-renews.
The list reportedly includes some users from around the world, and not just US-based accounts.
Spotify, meanwhile, says it “has not been hacked,” adding that its “user records are secure.” This begs the question of how the specific details of people’s Spotify accounts were found out, as these do not appear to be generic credentials.
TechCrunch also spoke with some victims, who all noticed suspicious behavior on their accounts, from new playlists being added to their accounts to being kicked off of their Spotify accounts.
Worse still, as some users use the same password for multiple login types, some have also had their Facebook, Uber, Skype, and bank accounts breached as a result. – Rappler.com
