Spotify has officially acknowledged the issue and is actively working to resolve it as swiftly as possible. They have also debunked rumors suggesting that the outage was due to a security breach, confirming that this is not the case.
We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible. The reports of this being a security hack are false.
