Spotify Phishing Campaign Tells Users that Their Subscriptions Are Frozen
The State of Security
A new Spotify-themed phishing campaign informed recipients that the music streaming service had frozen their subscriptions.
On 5 December, MailGuard discovered an email that appeared to come from Spotify.
The email itself used the display name “Spotify” along with the music streaming service’s logo to lull recipients into a false sense of security.
With a subject line reading “Your payment didn’t go through,” the phishing email informed users that Spotify had failed to successfully process their payment. It went on to claim that the service had paused these users’ Premium subscriptions and that those members would therefore lose the benefits of their Premium membership, including the ability to listen to songs offline and without the interruption of ads.
