Account connects to fake accounts?

Country: Germany

Device: All

 

Hi there, on January 14th something strange happened on my Spotify account: Every few minutes the music play stopped because a different device overtook. Everytime it was an iPhone from a female. But every time a different one. For example "Aliza's  Iphone", "Johanna's Iphone", or, as you can see in this screenshot, "Carmen's Iphone":

You have to be quite fast to see this, because after a minute or so this fakes (I assume) disconnect again.

When I later looked at my recently listened music, I realized two playlists I never listened to:

"Chill Tracks" from a Duy Pham and "Dope Tracks" from a sandy-simke:

As you can see in the screenshot: It's the same playlist with the same 25 tracks. The "Chill Tracs" playlist isn't in my spotify anymore (maybe the Playlist or user was deleted?), but here is the link to the "Dope Tracks" playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/16B5f5MotKnRlkU6U6i6Pf?si=CmsyqQSmRkONmj8wPru5Kg

The playlist contains songs from 4 different ... bands (?):
1) Diglyceride:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/0pfkA1s2M1ApNzVvAhJvRy?si=GiADtSTBRT-AffQIIcEm_Q

2) Jukera: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7DAPA7K37JRxJHcp3ntE1N?si=KkU9-21mTMmXXs1uDOxWGA

3) Jukera Jukera: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3HKPcNWgRqWZ8S188HDgZu?si=RhD0wAVgSUOTgDZWKBYCtg

4) Not Jukera: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1EBC6Xn6b6egSFQaPAI81I?si=oZfoLkOqRHiNd5KJ3ymtnw

"Jukera", "Jukera Jukera" and "Not Jukera"? I find this some strange, also. 

Other strange things. I now have somehow favourised a lot of playlists from the account "PLAYLISTNATION" (https://open.spotify.com/user/glh4ed0mdubg1u3nlgesovdbl?si=2RQR-WokTlS7GQjpAlkefg), for Example "Pop 2020" (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5RFmaE02njxxrr5vDlDsqX?si=uhUy7_K5SYyPbgXkFd8Ggw) and "House 2020" (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5tVImxzqp3boPmWXoEn2jR?si=zwuTP6TqTn-i4y7QW8Q3gw). This wasn't me, of course.

I also can see two playlists, I have allegedly created, both with the same name: "FrkyFrDay777". Both contain only one song: In this case ( created December 8th 2019)  it's "Seal the Deal" from "Milidia Scarlet": https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Txb2qcU3ios6EozeZZlTN?si=MnvxRaiJSt2aSk51aF92QA

In this one (created January 14th, when I hade the problems mentioned above) it's "Changed My Mind" from ... wait for it .... Jukera! (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7c5M3cWtnp6wdr0LEbdnPv?si=XaZmKU5KROeu4j7SuhIeWA)

So on January 14th the problems happened on my Mac Book at work. I hab problems like this  (some other device overtook the music play and my music stopped) already a few weeks ago (probably on December 8th, when the other one of the "FrkyFrDay 777" with the "Seal the Deal" song was created) on my Windows PC at home. So I don't know, if the other devices was always shown as girls Iphones as well.

I log in via Facebook (account since 2012). On Facebook I use two-factor-authentification for around half a year and had also changed my PW after that. So I can't realy imagine my account was hacked. But was your system hacked or something. Or was all of the a hiccup in the database or something? I would like to know, what happened there? What's for example going on with this identical playlists with "Jukera"- and "Not Jukera"-songs?

Looking forward for your answer,

Nils
