Spotify Announces Single User Hacked, No Personal Data Stolen

Posted by Soulskill on from the if-you're-going-to-have-a-data-breach,-this-is-a-good-way-to-do-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On the Spotify company blog, CTO Oskar Stål apologized to users and said there has been a security breach at Spotify, where some systems and internal company data was accessed without permission. Evidence given suggests only one Spotify user's account was accessed and that no security or payment information was taken. As a security step, Spotify has announced they are releasing an updated Android application over the coming days, as well as requiring some users to re-enter their login details."

    Rewriting history there - the Facebook "integration" came later, when it was released here in the Nordic countries it was just a login/pass. I don't think it was ever mandatory though? At least, as an existing customer, I've never needed to link my Spotify account to Facebook.

    But your assumption is wrong, Spotify is from Sweden.
