Lösenordstjuvar hackade Spotify
Ditt lösenord, din e-mailadress och dina födelsedata kan ha kommit i händerna
på en grupp hackare som lyckats ta sig in i Spotifys kontoregister. Nu
uppmanar utvecklarna bakom Spotify sina användare att byta lösenord.

Inrikes. Uppmaningen gäller dig som skapade ditt Spotifykonto innan den 19 december 2008, det datumet då Spotify hittade säkerhetsbuggen och fixade den. Har du dessutom samma lösenord till Spotify som du har till andra tjänster kan det vara en god idé att byta de lösenorden också.
Utvecklarna skriver på sin blogg att några kreditkortsnummer aldrig har varit i fara eftersom all kreditkortsbetalning sköt via en säker utomstående tjänst.
Så här skriver Spotify på sin blogg:
Spotify security notice
March 4, 2009
Last week we were alerted to a group that managed to compromise our protocols. After investigating we concluded that this group had gained access to information that could allow testing of a very large number of passwords, possibly finding the right one. The information was exposed due to a bug that we discovered and fixed on December 19th, 2008. Until last week we were unaware that anyone had had access to our protocols to exploit it.
Along with passwords, registration information such as your email address, birth date, gender, postal code and billing receipt details were potentially exposed. Credit card numbers are not stored by us and were not at risk. All payment data is handled by a secure 3rd party provider.
If you have an account that was created on or before December 19th, 2008, we strongly suggest that you change your password and strongly encourage you to change your passwords for any other services where you use the same password.
