On the website Pastebin, 100 of Spotify account credentials—including emails, usernames, passwords, account types, and other information got exposed.

Confirming that hackers had not gained access to its systems, the corporation denied any data breach.
Spotify said that user data is safe and that it has not been compromised.

Spotify's security team reportedly resets compromised passwords proactively, and several users have reported account issues, according to the news outlet Techcrunch.

While using the site, some customers encountered issues, others discovered that their account email had been changed to an address that did not belong to them.
