My account has been hacked by some kind of BOT

My account has been hacked by some kind of BOT

I started Spotify today and saw another unit used my account when I checked who it was I saw there was about 8-12 unknown units that was changing song and change listening unit. I've change password 3-4 times on both spotify and facebook, logged out all units but when i log in 10 units are already loggd in. It is clearly some kind of bot. I've tried everything but nothing works...

i am having this same **bleep** issue and i just can't solve them with these standard ways that they recommend (changing password and logging out of every unit).

Greetings, I am experiencing the same issue. The only app that I haven't unlinked is Distrokid so I'm assuming it could be that. However I use Distrokid to upload music so I don't really want to unlink it. But otherwise if it isn't Distrokid I've changed my password, email, signed out everywhere and the bot is still using my account. It plays songs whenever I'm not using Spotify, It just plays it on a very low volume so that I don't know it's using it. I had the weirdest Spotify Wrapped because of it to. 

Hey @gabemcgregor,

 

Thanks for reaching out! Sorry to hear you're having this issue. 

 

Since the security measurements you've taken haven't worked, the best thing to do would be reaching out directly to our Support team here for further help. 

 

If anything else comes up, the Community will be here. 

 

Cheers!
