This is the third breach in the past few weeks for the world’s most popular streaming service.

 

Spotify has alerted users that some of their registration data was inadvertently exposed to a third-party business partner, including emails addresses, preferred display names, passwords, gender and dates of birth. This is at least the third breach in less than a month for the world’s largest streaming service.

A statement from Spotify about the incident said the exposure was due to a software vulnerability that existed from April 9 until Nov. 12 when it was corrected.
