First it was [Netflix](/blog/user-accounts-on-netflix-hacked-by-the-thousands/), then it was [Instagram](/blog/instagram-popular-facebook-guess-hackers-are/) and then [Google](/blog/instagram-popular-facebook-guess-hackers-are/) and now Spotify.

We couldn’t take your payment, so we have paused your subscription for now. You will start hearing ads and you can no longer listen to your favorite songs offline. The good news is Premium is just a click away.” Of course the hackers make it easy for you to get phished. “A button is provided for customers to reactivate premium Spotify, with unsuspecting recipients who click the link being led to a fake Spotify-branded **phishing page** that asks for their login details. _Upon completion, victims are led to two further pages asking for credit card and address information, before being taken to a Spotify page containing a 404 error_.” ![What is a zero day attack](https://media.mailhop.org/phishprotection/images/2019/12/what-is-a-zero-day-attack-4531.jpg) There’s nothing particularly clever about this phishing attack, other than it preys on victims’ desire to keep their music playing.
