Have you logged into/used spotify on any public networks or potentially compromised private networks (e.g. that friend who's really careless with what prograns they run)?
Any chances your device(s) itself has been compromised?
Did you link Spotify with any questionable websites?
Nowadays there's more than one way to hijack accounts, and a password/2FA isn't necessarily needed—e.g. session hijacking
Nope, no logins on devices I do not own. I have it on my smart home devices and on my cellphone. The phone is connected to carrier network and free access points from our public transport company and in the office WiFi.
I didn’t link Spotify anywhere. My devices are likely not being compromised. On my phone I use open source software where possible and only very little apps in general, and all network traffic is very restricted with NetGuard in whitelist mode. So someone else or me or my tools would have noticed any fishy things happening on that side.
I could not say where someone could get the two sessions (my smarthome system and my phone) from based on my usage either …
It’s all just very strange.
