Hey kimiah, welcome to the Community.

 

I've just logged you out of all devices so if you've already changed your Facebook/Spotify passwords, he shouldn't be able to regain access. I've also restored your playlists back to an earlier state -- hopefully you won't be missing any.

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂

I have just moved your post over into the official topic for requesting forced logouts. Hang tight, a member of the Spotify team will be able to do it for you.

Hey @ikorkylive 🙂 

 

Man I am sure this is driving you mad! 

 

Best thing to do is drop the customer services team an email using this form making sure you use a working email address in the box, just explain what has been going on. After you have done that, you will get an automated email reply with a case number (#) in it, if you post that here we can ask someone to chase it up as soon as possible for you.

My account has been hacked. My user name is 'hatcheckclerk' and I can't log in as the password has been changed and there is someone else's email address shown. It now always shows as 'being used by another user'. I cancelled the credit card billing, but not sure it worked if this person is using it? What can I do? Spotify Help doesn't work as the message will go to the hacker?

Hey @hatcheckclerk ! Welcome to the community 🙂

You will need to get in touch with the customer services team directly using the online contact form and they will be able to assist you further with this, just make sure you use a working email address in the first box!

If you get an automated email reply back directing you to the community or help pages, you need to reply directly to that email (even if its from no-reply) and one of the customer services agents will get back to you as soon as possible.

Alternatively, if you prefer support via Twitter, please tweet @SpotifyCares.

Hello Adam, i need you to reset my Spotify account, someone has hacked it. 
I dont know how this person did this

Hi @andie747

I've just edited your message, to remove your personal email, for security.

Best thing to do is contact the support team, http://spoti.fi/17rEzNX they can help sort the security on your account

Please assist me with regaining control of my hacked account. As of tonight, I was not able to log in and someone else entered their own email for contact. The person who hijacked my account entered this email instead of mine ([Snip-Email(Privacy)-Peter]).

 

This is a message for the moderator/administrator.  Please email me a link to how I can reset password to my account and regain control of it.

 

My Spotify Case # 01398939

 

Thank you.

@dborowka - Just going to hide that email address to stop you from getting any spam.

If you could reply directly to the automated email which contained the case number (even if it is from no-reply) that will make sure your case reaches an adviser as soon as possible.

I suggest you contact support so they can help you

https://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-anonymous/

 

In the preferred contact box, you will be able to tell Spotify which address to contact you at since they changed the one on your account

 

If you get an automated reply email telling you to check the help section or the community, you need to reply back to it.

 

Support usually replies within 24-48 hours.
