Attention all music lovers: Spotify, the popular music streaming service, experienced a significant outage this morning. According to Downdetector, a site that tracks online service disruptions, reports of Spotify's issues started pouring in around 6 a.m. PT. Throughout the morning, many users, including our team at IGN, were unable to access the service. Even when we managed to open the app, it refused to play any music, leaving us all in silence.
Spotify has officially acknowledged the problem and is actively working to resolve it as quickly as possible. The company has also debunked any rumors suggesting that the outage was caused by a security hack, reassuring users that their data remains safe.
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.
