[News] Spotify, the music streaming service just posted a message on its company blog indicating that one user’s account was hacked.

Spotify stated that user data, such as password, financial or payment information was not accessed.

Spotify will start asking Android users to re-enter their username and password to log back in and users running outdated versions of the app will be guided through the update process to ensure they’re running the latest version. However, it is only limited to Android users at the moment.
This phishing type of attack, following the eBay breach, is yet another proof that companies need to take broad steps to ensure their users’ information is safe. As experts in cyber security we advise first of all, users to regularly change their passwords and secondly, companies to take action and invest in more advanced network security systems.
