Spotify Android users must upgrade apps after hack

The streaming music service says an investigation shows only one user’s data was compromised but, as a precaution, it will be asking certain users to re-enter their passwords and download new software.

“We’ve become aware of some unauthorized access to our systems and internal company data,” Spotify Chief Technology Officer Oskar Stål wrote in a notice on the company’s website. “Based on our findings, we are not aware of any increased risk to users as a result of this incident.”

The affected data, in the instance of that one user, did not include any password, financial or payment information.

In addition to notifying certain users about re-entering passwords, Spotify will be instructing Android app users to upgrade over the next few days.

Right now, iOS and Windows-based phone users do not need to take any action.

According to ZDNet, the hack “appears to be an isolated and tiny incident, considering the music streaming service has an estimated 40 million users.”
