The leakage of user data on Internet platforms, sites and applications is one of the difficult security problems that are constantly recurring and facing the developers and the marchers of these digital tools, and it seems that the popular music platform Spotify, in turn, has faced a similar problem during the past weeks and months,
According to VPNMentor's security experts, sensitive and important data for more than 300 million Spotify users has been leaked recently, as the security company says that this latest discovery was made by its experts last July, which is something that has been reported. For Spotify to take the necessary security measures, as it comes to the ElasticSearch server, this information is included,
And VPNMentor says that the size of the discovered database is 72 GB, and that it includes sensitive information mainly related to names and passwords in addition to the geographical locations and e-mail of users, which makes the hypothesis of hacking the company's servers a strongly established hypothesis, but Spotify on its part denied This hypothesis strongly, as it confirmed that it is not related at all to a hacking process, but to the process of hackers seizing this data from the users themselves and in different ways.
It is reported that the Spotify platform has 320 million active users, and after being informed of the incident by the security company VPNMentor, it has reset the passwords of the affected users.
