Spotify Wrapped 2020 Rollout Marred by Pop Star Hacks
2020-12-02 21:38

Spotify pages for Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, Future and others were defaced by an attacker pledging his love for Taylor Swift and Trump.

In the midst of its popular Spotify Wrapped 2020 playlist rollout of the year's most popular songs, the streaming service is grappling with a security breach, which affected the pages of some of its biggest stars, including Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, Future, Pop Smoke and others.

The target of the attack, according to the BBC, was a Spotify site specifically for musicians and their labels, called Spotify for Artists.

Future's Spotify page featured what is presumably a pic of Daniel listening to Pop Smoke's page.

The pages appear to have been restored, but Spotify has not responded to requests for comment to confirm that the breach is contained.
