Eloise Horsfield from bbc said that I live alone in Bristol and work from home. One morning, when I hadn’t seen anyone except the cat for four full days, I received three emails – each informing me of a “new login” to the music-streaming service. The mystery user was apparently in the US.
I opened the app on my phone and, sure enough, a song I hadn’t selected was playing. It was Come Up by hip-hop/rap artist Kashoutjae – not something I’d choose.Thinking about it, my Spotify username and password were identical and had been the same since joining the platform back in 2009. So, it’s hardly surprising my account was so easy to penetrate.
