Spotify breach creates password hack risk

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"Popular online music service Spotify has warned of a security breach that may have exposed user passwords and other 
sensitive data.

A notice - posted on Wednesday - explains that a bug in Spotify's protocols that was recognised
and resolved in December was more serious than first suspected.
Last week Spotify learned that a group of hackers had managed to compromise its protocols
as a result of this (now resolved) vulnerability."
