Guest LucaAltieri Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yeah, there was a thread on this a while ago. Nice bit of software, but they need to get the rights to more world music. A few months back I could get a load of foreign music, now it's all restricted based on where you are in the world. This sort of thing will only work if there are few restrictions.

nkcgd Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Anyone else get this? Dear Spotify user, Last week we were alerted to a group that managed to compromise our protocols. After investigating we concluded that this group had gained access to information that could allow testing of a very large number of passwords, possibly finding the right one. The information was exposed due to a bug that we discovered and fixed on December 19th, 2008. Until last week we were unaware that anyone had had access to our protocols to exploit it. Along with passwords, registration information such as your email address,birth date, gender, postal code and billing receipt details were potentially exposed. Credit card numbers are not stored by us and were not at risk. All payment data is handled by a secure 3rd party provider. If you have an account that was created on or before December 19th 2008, we strongly suggest that you change your password and strongly encourage you to change your passwords for any other services where you use the same password. When choosing your password we provide you with an indicator of the password strength to help you choose a good one. To change your password please visit your profile page on our website. https://www.spotify.com/en/account/profile/ For the technically minded amongst you, the information that may have been exposed when our protocols were compromised is the password hashes. As stated, we never store passwords, and they have never been sent over the Internet unencrypted, but the combination of the bug and the group's reverse-engineering of our encrypted streaming protocol may have given outsiders access to individual hashes. The hashes are salted, making attacks using rainbow tables unfeasible. Short or otherwise bad passwords could still be vulnerable to offline targeted brute-force or dictionary attacks on individual users, but you could not run attacks in parallel. Also, there has been no known breach of our internal systems. A complete user database has not been leaked, but until December 19th, 2008 it was possible to access the password hashes of individual users had you reverse-engineered the Spotify protocol and knew the username. We are really sorry about this and hope you accept our apologies. We're doubling our efforts to keep the systems secure in order to prevent anything like this from happening again. Regards, The Spotify Team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 User info stolen from music site Spotify logo More than 250,000 people in Britain have signed up to the service The music streaming service Spotify has been targeted by hackers. The Swedish company says people's personal details, including e-mail addresses, dates of birth and addresses, were all stolen. However, it is thought credit-card details, which were handled by a third party, have remained secure. Spotify has apologised for the security lapse and advised users who registered on the site before 19 December 2008 to change their passwords. It is thought hackers gained access to user data at the end of 2008, although the security breach only came to light at the end of last week. In the dark Spotify's communications manager, Jim Butcher, told BBC News the company had only become aware of the attack after receiving a message from the hackers. "We haven't had direct contact, it's all via third-party sources, so we don't know who they are and we don't know where they are from. "This wasn't some kid playing on a computer, someone has spent hundreds of hours looking to hack into our system." "We're still trying to find out the reasons they actually hacked our site, so it's difficult for me to say what they want at the present time." Rory Cellan-Jones Rory Cellan-Jones on Spotify Launched in 2006, Spotify has more than one million registered users. Instead of receiving a pay-per-download service, users can access the music for free, with tunes interrupted by advertising, or they can pay £10 a month for an ad-free service. It is thought there are more than 250,000 users registered in the UK, but Spotify stressed that the number of compromised accounts was small. "We think about 10,000 accounts [could be] at risk, although we are 95% sure it is a fraction of that," said Mr Butcher. In a blog posting, the company explained how the hack actually took place. "The information that may have been exposed when our protocols were compromised is the password hashes [codes]. "As stated, we never store passwords, and they have never been sent over the internet unencrypted, but the combination of the bug and the group's reverse-engineering of our encrypted streaming protocol may have given outsiders access to individual hashes." The company has apologised for the security lapse and promised users that it was making efforts to ensure the hack was not repeated. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7925455.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 McAfee seems to be quarentining Spotify finding IRCbot.gen.z. Seems to only be McAfee that's picking it up though. I didn't have a clue what was going on this morning when I got in and tried to launch it, it had just disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a clue what was going on this morning when I got in and tried to launch it, it had just disappeared. McAfee have admitted to having fucked up yesterday's virus definitions but have promised to have a fix for it out at some point today. McAfee has been made aware that some users are experiencing an issue with Spotify. A fix will be provided in today's regular signature file update. McAfee would like to apologise to any customers affected by this issue and reassure them that this is being addressed as a matter of urgency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Anyone having trouble with McAfee blocking Spotify? I've had Spotify on my comp for about 5/6 weeks now with no problems so I'm assuming a recent update of McAfee has done something to stop this from being used.
