Account Hacked and payment plan changed

[TheBackwardsDog]

HI, so i just noticed my account was hacked sometime within the last month and the hacker changed my payment plan to the family plan and tried to use the account in secret. I have changed my plan back but unfortunately I was already charged for the family plan at the start of this billing cycle. Can we remedy this?

Hey @TheBackwardsDog, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

I’m sorry to hear about this! In this case, I’d recommend checking out this support article for the next steps to take.

To prevent this from happening in the future, there are many measures you can take to protect your account, such as resetting your password every few months, and not using passwords you have used on other sites. There is also a great guide here for some more measures on protecting your account.

If you see an email from Spotify, and can’t tell if it’s legit, use this checklist. Of course, Spotify makes sure that all user records and platforms are completely secure around the clock.

I hope this helps.
