Spotify Premium [Login from China] Spotify Systems Compromised

Spotify Premium [Login from China] Spotify Systems Compromised

I have recently received the second email of this type:

 

 
Location/City/Country: China
Time: 2020 Aug 2 16:52:42 BST

 

https://www.androidauthority.com/spotify-premium-hack-1087255/

 

It's clear Spotify has been compromised.   What is worrying me is that after signing out of all devices and changing passwords, the account was again compromised.  This means there is a clear open backdoor with Spotify. 

Why has this not received more media coverage?

 

Spotify is yet to implement two-factor support despite repeated hacks.

 

Looking online I can see this has been going on for months.  Spotify, why do you not hire security experts, implement 2FA and stop this?

 

I will be cancelling and moving back to Deezer.  I suggest everyone else on Premium does the same.
