How to check if your Spotify Account has been hacked?
Many incidents have happened in the past from which we can get an idea that your account is hacked or not. Below you will see some of those incidents. Also, we have some tips for you from which you can check that account is hacked or not. If at any time suddenly your music has stopped or the songs are changing automatically then you need to change your password because it is not a functional problem of your account but your account has been hacked.
On Spotify, if someone is logged into your account and presses play then you will hear the same music, similarly if you change the song then for other people the song will change.
23-year-old Connor Ball was taking a shower when this happened. The song he was listening to suddenly stopped. As the song stopped, he couldn't press play again as he was in the shower. Another song started playing on its own, which he didn't like. That's when he realized his Spotify account had been hacked.
The song automatically started playing on Google Chrome , a web browser that Connor Ball was not using. Mr. Ball did not change his account password and continued to watch the hacker's taste.
Another person who was also hackedwas 19-year-old Chris Pantin, a student in California. The hacker repeatedly played the album by rapper YG. That was when he realized his account had been hacked.
How to secure your Spotify account?
- A unique password must be used for all websites you have registered for.
- Always avoid registering on new or untrusted websites. Because if the website has been hacked or the data of that website has been leaked, then all the details will be easily accessible by any hacker.
- Try not to share your account with anyone. Because if your account is disabled in only one way, you can track it down. Check exactly what songs are being played. So if you have given access to your friends and family, then you can't figure out who is using it as a hacker or a friend.
- Remove access to third-party software.
- After using Spotify on a new device, get in the habit of logging out of that device.
Secure your Spotify account from hackers by securing your password. Even though the app is secure, but it becomes easy to access your computer, make sure you have better security. We all know that what a hacker can gain by accessing your music library but using that he can do many things that you cannot imagine.
