The result was about 15–20 instances in which I would play “Black Beatles” for five seconds, and he would play “Black Beatles” for five seconds. Because an account can play only one song at a time, if you play a song, the intruder can just come right back by playing a song on the other end. Let’s be clear: There are many important accounts that can be hacked, but as I found out, even having less serious accounts breached can be annoying.
But that morning as I started to dig deeper, I found one user firmly entrenched in my account: A gentleman named “Mario.” He was the one playing the music the moment I discovered the breach, he was streaming “Black Beatles.” I’d assumed that was some technical mixup - none of the devices were named and none interrupted my song more than once. A mistake, I figured.Īll week, though, I’d been getting weird alerts from Spotify saying that my account was streaming from a different device. But I noticed something odd that morning when I opened the app: a bunch of “recently” played artists, few I’d ever heard of. I have my playlists set up and curated I am a creature of habit when it comes to music, so there’s never much adventure within Spotify for me. My day started like any other: Before a jog, I wanted to throw on some Pearl Jam or early 2000s punk. All he wanted was to play Rae Sremmurd.Ī Spotify breach is particularly low stakes in the world of hacking, but it led me to one of the most bizarre online experiences I’ve ever had. The perpetrator wasn’t after my bank information or my Facebook account or any other sensitive information. It may be shocking, but my first hacking experience happened only recently.
