Spotify issues security notice
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 28 May 2014
Spotify has issued a security notice after discovering unauthorised access to its systems and company data.
In the statement, CTO Oskar Stål said that an investigation had shown that only one user’s account data had actually been accessed in the breach, but that a number of measures would nevertheless be taken to protect others.
Although stressing that the company is “not aware of any increased risk to users”, Stål confirmed that in the coming days some users will be prompted to re-login to their accounts, while some users of the company’s Android mobile app will also receive an update shortly.
iOS and Windows Phone users are not currently thought to be affected.
