The service reset an unknown number of passwords in order to protect affected users, most of which will have been completed by now.\u00a0 The researchers said they discovered a 72 gigabyte cache of unencrypted information, which included <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately 300,000 email addresses, login IDs, and passwords for Spotify users.<\/p>\n<p>The data was on a third-party server, not in possession of Spotify at the time, and almost certainly obtained illegally. It\u2019s a big leak, but a relatively tiny fraction of Spotify\u2019s hundreds of millions of worldwide users. Note that if your password was reset, it only protects your Spotify account.
