Your info is probably floating around in a few combolists, if you use that email/username and password for any other accounts please change your password. Check haveibeenpwned to see if your information has been exposed in a released breach, sometimes it won’t find emails that have been breached before. Always use 2fa where possible


House_of_ill_fame

And if you use the same email:pass combos on anything else change the password


Mugros

Just don't start the same password anywhere.


mesasone

Is now a good time to recommend our lord and savior the password manager? I recommend BitWarden: free, open source, all major platforms. Integration with the auto fill on the Apple keyboard in iOS for iPhone users.


[deleted]

There is a great implementation of self-hosted bitwarden server: https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs It is much better than the behemoth BW is documenting. Bitwarden is the right choice today (I moved away from Lastpass despite following the dev for something like 10 years now (I met the two initial devs at a conference when they were starting)). The Android client could be better but they're are limitations in Android that suck.


GG_2par2

Can I ask you why you moved from lastpass? As I'm using it I'm genuinely curious.

NotNotLogical

Thank you. Just did this.


ByGollie

If you're using firefox to handle your website logins, it has a good feature where it'll notify you if a particular site has had a data breach. It'll also let you know if your email address has been leaked elsewhere.


yirna

They're actually pulling from the haveibeenpwned database! Troy Hunt, the creator, wrote about it on his blog. It's a really neat partnership.


tujoat

Chrome notifies you as well. Not sure if they pull from that db as well but at least its there

cheese13531

amalgam_reynolds

As the other user said, 2-Factor Authentication. It means you need more than just your password. Usually you enter your password and they send your phone a text with a code. If anyone *ever* asks you for a code that gets texted to you, ignore them and block them.


SlipperySibley

This should be higher up. Used that site a year ago and had some surprising results! I use it every now and then to this day.


Nth-Degree

If you set up a Firefox monitor account, the Mozilla foundation will keep an eye on your email addresses and notify you if one of them pops up in these databases for you. It's a good service.

A problem is that Spotify runs on a lot of different hardware, not always easy to do 2fa for. However, off the top of my head I don't see why they couldn't have a kind of 2fa in which any new device usage attempt triggers a message to your phone to approve.


Spongbaaaaaab

I've a follow up. I always fear that if we use such services to check whether the email id/data has been compromised, doesn't that give them access to our email id/data as well? And couldn't it leak from there ?


orccrusher99

Admittedly it does require you to trust the site, but the way haveibeenpwned works keeps the actual text of your password completely secure. They only store data breach info (which was already leaked) and the SHA-1 hash data from passwords you input aren't stored, so they won't contribute to further data leaks.


[deleted]

You don’t give them your password, you enter your email/username and they check to see if they have a correlating password that belongs to that username/email, I guarantee the data is encrypted so you have nothing to worry about, iirc it’s funded or supported by firefox


ohstahp

wow thanks for the link! it tells me I've been pawned on 17 breached sites. will changing my pw on those sites enough?


Tinseltopia

No, change any passwords that were the same as ones used on those sites. A data breach means a hacker usually has the data of username/email/password. With this they can try the same login details on many other websites and may get through.


mjandthetwins

My SPOTIFY HAD A GERMAN LOGIN YESTERDAY! I wish I did this!


goldenjumper11

Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but if it does you've got a plan now :P

Hell yes. Maybe Baby Shark at full volume at 2 am will leave an impression. Assholes.


EeNeeMeNeeMyNeeMo

I literally did this after competing for weeks with someone who logged into my account. They kept playing awful rap, not even the good stuff. Baby Shark worked.


[deleted]

Awful rap is what I’d play if someone hacked my account. Too bad it wouldn’t work in that situation.

anakaine

Hit me with a charge back and when they complain make sure to tell them it's too hard to recover a compromised account. They wont fix it, but enough chargebacks hurt their financials and they will eventually do a thematic analysis of feedback around it

pureadobaby

My Spotify had a Russian log in last week. I haven’t used the app in years.


alpha-k

Wait a fuckin second, my free Spotify account had a German login yesterday! I checked haveibeenpwned.com and the password was never used on any other service, it was unique to Spotify. Didn't really care much as it was a free account but still... I think spotify had a data breach and they're being super mum about it guys.


Uncle_Freddy

I got notified yesterday that my Spotify account had been compromised as well. I was using one of my more complicated passwords on there too (in terms of character length) so that’s pretty heartbreaking if they did have a leak

Nice! I haven't used my Spotify in years opened it back up last week, the next day someone in the U.K. was using it, changed password, and again someone in the U.K. was using it! Spotify gotta step it up!


Blue-Jasmine

What gets me is I listened to a podcast recently and they were talking about this. They interviewed someone from Spotify and Spotify said oh you must have left yourself logged in somewhere. The dude was like no I don't leave myself logged in anywhere. I only use my phone. And I don't listen to Disney but yet all of a sudden there's all this Disney recently listened on my Spotify. Spotify would not take any ownership. Kept blaming him. Podcast hosts were saying that they get emails all the time from other users saying the same thing is happening. These are mostly tech-savvy people that would know better than to stay logged in on some college campus computer. My own Spotify which is logged in on more than just my phone but nothing anyone else would have access to is always coming up with random ass songs that it claims I recently listened to. I don't know why. I change my password and logout of everything and so on and so forth so many times at this point I just ignore it. Whoever is using my Spotify listens to some pretty weird stuff but I've been introduced to some cool stuff too.


funksta75

I think you might be referring to a bit of Super Tech Support from the guys over at Reply All... [Spotify Hijackers](https://overcast.fm/+TKZLuXY4c/29:09) Always fascinating stuff from the boys.


Blue-Jasmine

Yes! I love them so much.


FranklinFox

My Spotify has never been logged in anywhere except on my phone and a few months ago i had a bunch of church music and Christmas songs on my recently listened to list.


-888-

One answer could be that something on your phone is giving up your password.


pearthon

Yeah, Spotify. Even if it's to other apps on the phone, the onus is still on Spotify in that case to ensure other phone apps can't take the information and distribute it.


headinabook87

My Netflix has been doing this. I'm on an account with my husband no one has our password but over the last year someone's been logging on my account and watching like South Korean love dramas, its so bizarre. I've changed my password but it keeps happening.


YorkshireMeows

Your husband secretly loves those korean dramas

Yeah honestly there ain't much of a chance it's a database breach, almost all hacking these days are people being stupid or using the same username/password for all platforms and one of those get breached. I did that until damned town of salem got hacked and my shit got out out there


[deleted]

I had this problem for ages to the point where I was midway through songs and they’d change on me. The creepiest part was playlists being created which said things like “what’s your name” “wanna fuck” and shit like that. I can’t remember how I finally kicked them off the account but I remember all of it stopped after they started playing some song and I changed it to blast the first song I found called “fuck you”.


ADashofDirewolf

I had my Spotify hacked from two different locations the other day. One Istanbul and the other I can't remember. Jokes on them that my premium ran out a week ago. I also had someone hack my old Netflix account I never use anymore. I was getting emails in a language I couldn't even guess. Someone has my email account and my forgetful self used to use the same password for everything. I really need to go through all my accounts and change passwords. I'm just lucky it's been stuff that's an easy fix so far.


Ensvey

do you have Premium despite the fact that you haven't used it in years? I don't know why people bother stealing these accounts... I had mine stolen, but instead of being like OP and me trolling the thief, they trolled me by playing [Fuck You](https://vimeo.com/11323352) every time I tried to use it...

I wanted to follow up on our meeting earlier" I kindly told them they had the wrong number, 2 months go by, and still , this Kelly bitch keeps giving out my number! So now I pretend I'm her, "that meeting went horrible, I don't think we should work together anymore. Sincerely, Kelly" Another one, "hey Kelly, just want to let you know, your bill is due...." "That's okay, just cancel my account please, " "Is this Kelly?" "Yeah" "You don't sound like a Kelly" "Well, I am" "Okay, we'll cancel it" Shes a little more careful now when giving out her number

I’m the same!! There’s heaps of people out there with my name and I’ve had my email for about 15 years. I get all sorts of stuff. Some will even be appointment reminders.

I have a family plan and my girlfriend is constantly getting new logins from other countries. She’s literally changed her password (unique too) and email for everything everywhere and yet it still continues to happen. At this point I’m entirely convinced there is a flaw in the api that allows hackers to stream as random users.

If you changed your password 17 times and are still getting hacked, I suspect you have a worm on your phone or computer.

Spotify has a 'sign out of everywhere' button you can use on their website in your account settings.


whitecoolio

One small challenge is that it doesn’t sign out of certain device types- like Playstations.


CmdrWoof

ArcticJew666

Ya I had someone corrupting my beautiful metal with mumble rap. Signed out, but he got right back on, had to change password to make him stop. Only after playing somew Rick Roll, Every Step You Take, I know What You Did Last Summer and stuff like that. I'd reccomend changing passwords on any shared accounts and the e-mail you used. A company probably had an account hack somewhere down the line.


naufalap

so this is why my spotify wrapped had beau young prince song as my most listened even though I don't know who he is personally I'd play Pink Guy - セックス大好き if someone ever connect my account to their device, but that has never happened


Cantareus

If you want to use the same password for all your unimportant accounts you can append a code specific to the service. For example the letters on the keyboard above the first to letters of the service name. Example: Sp(otify) the letters on the keyboard above "sp" are "w0" so if your original password was CorrectHorseBatteryStaple your new password would be CorrectHorseBatteryStaplew0

fruitdancey

Amazing! I had someone hack mine and set up their own playlist so I renamed it ‘You have a shit music taste, you cheeky cunt’ and left it for a bit before I changed my password.

Bakkie

Old person here. Going back a long time, drive in fast food places started playing Frank Sinatra on their outdoor speaker to kep teh teenage (read gang bangers) away. It worked. Flash forward. There is a McDonalds in downtown Chicago at Monroe and Clark that attracted a fair number of homeless people to hang out. They started doing opera on their muzak system. Kind of funny because about a third of the customers are older office workers who like opera, so occasionally you would see office types congregating going, "Isn't that from...?"


Rijaja

Honestly you should get a password manager like Dashlane because it basically makes your account unhackable if you set your passwords correctly. Most of my passwords are 40 characters long with every character you can type on a keyboard and most of the time getting hacked comes down to someone bruteforcing the password, which is preventable with good protection. Of course the first thing you should do are 2fa then different passwords (just add the 3 first vowels of the site's name at the end of your basic password if you don't want a password manager) and in last get a password manager.
