Hacked Account

Hacked Account

Hi

 

I have an Unlimited Account which was hacked a couple of days ago, it seems that I was still logged in so I changed the password, logged out and then logged back in with the new password and all seems ok.

 

Three things:

 

My account was changed from Unlimited to Premium

My Playlists are gone replaced with others - I have contacted support about this

Third - is this a conicidence? A week ago I installed a couple of Spotify remotes on my Iphone and Ipad - Remoteless and Spot Remote, in less than five days my account is hacked - makes you wonder....

 

Any comments gratefully received, especially on getting my playlists back - thanks in advance.

I made the original post, I am locked our of my account.

 

I was contacted by support they asked for some info to verify that I was the account holder, I did this, my account was

deactivated while they checked, 27hrs later support won't respond to my emails and account still deactivated.

 

I am a customer, I pay a subscription, what is going on??

Not 100% sure, can you let us know your case number (#)? 

We can ask someone to make sure its with the right team for you.

Thanks in anticipation
