Account hacked and hijacked even after i changed password and logged out of all account

Account hacked and hijacked even after i changed password and logged out of all account

Hello can you please help, a few weeks ago i notice that when i was listening to music with my account it suddenly stopped and changed to another song. Then i also noticed that the liked song increase to more than 100+ when normally it's only around 30 songs.

I changed my password and logged out of other devices and linked account however it happened again recently.

Tried to contact customer service however i couldn't reach them i guess because of the pandemic happening?

Thank you so much!

The exact same is happening to me too, I just changed my password again for a fourth time. I think there was a data breach at spotify releasing passwords because I'm seeing loads of people saying the same about their accounts

same here! It's now the second time in less than one week! I've followed all recommended steps but I now also think that there is a problem on your end Spotify

The same person keep hacking my account! I followed all of the steps, logged out everywhere, managed devices and accounts in the apps section, and changed my password to be more secure. And the same person keeps logging in somehow with the same device name listening to the same playlist! How do I make it stop!
