The Leak a password list of the music service Spotify user data and passwords of users have come into circulation. Since no one knows how many accounts are affected, you should change your passwords - preferably all, if one uses identical secret words for multiple services.
Once again secret and sensitive user data reaches the public. This time, the streaming service Spotify is concerned. A list with the access of the users does not come clearly but from a hacker attack on Spotify, but of many "normal" phishing attacks. Affected are certainly hundreds of users whose email addresses were now about to change, reports TechCrunch.
Spotify Leak: number of users affected unclear
How many user accounts are affected, is unclear. InsideWeb circulating at least a few hundred cracked accounts, the total number is unknown. Apparently at least part of a phishing list with Spotify accounts has come to the public. And then other users immediately went to work and pulled some of the leaked accounts under the nail.
This is particularly annoying because Spotify is one of the suppliers, which enables the complete change of an email address, so it is very difficult to retry a once cracked account. Affected users need to contact customer service Spotify and has to try to prove that their account has been stolen.
Although Spotify should not be responsible for the leak, each user of the streaming services should clearly make that possibly his account is affected. And especially if you like a combination of user name and password used for multiple services and possibly access for Steam or Netflix - which is not advisable - you can think about to change all those passwords. Because it is known that fraudsters with even successful suits try with other major vendors. And phishing attacks are becoming more common, just recently circulated an iPhone phishing message. Who here has problems to remember a password, which can be used as a password manager.
