the official word from Spotify is that there has not been a breach, if you are using a username and password (as opposed to logging in with Facebook) you should immediately change your password.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A confirmed breach that hit the news this week involves the insanely popular game, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3061206\/security\/7-million-accounts-compromised-via-lifeboat-hack-a-minecraft-pocket-edition-community.html\">Minecraft<\/a>.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not familiar with Minecraft, it is an open-world game that allows people to build complete worlds from the ground up and share them with others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Minecraft can be played on many different platforms, including smartphones and tablets.\u00a0 While it is possible to run your own Minecraft server, many people join a community that provides access to shared servers for players.\u00a0 One such community, known as Lifeboat, had more than 7 million accounts compromised in a single breach.\u00a0 According to the website \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/haveibeenpwned.com\/\">Have I Been Pwned<\/a>\u201d, this breach represent the 8<sup>th<\/sup> highest volume of accounts compromised since the site was created.<\/p>\n<p><img

sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Minecraft is especially popular with kids (my nephews are Minecraft fanatics!), so parents should pay attention to this breach and encourage their children to change their password.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How do I know if my account has been compromised?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When breaches like these happen, it\u2019s common for the lists to be published on the Internet to sites like Pastebin.\u00a0 When these lists show up, sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haveibeenpwned.com\">Have I Been Pwned<\/a> will let you search to see if your email address has shown up in any lists of compromised accounts.\u00a0 There are a couple caveats that go along with this.\u00a0 If you go to a site that claims to let you search to see if your password has been compromised, <strong>do not enter your passwords<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is most likely an attempt to farm passwords.\u00a0 Additionally, the lists that are posted online are sometimes just a sample of the entire list.\u00a0 This is a way for cybercriminals reselling lists of credentials to show potential buyers that there is legitimate account information included.\u00a0 So just because your email address doesn\u2019t show up, you should still change your password.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What do I do if my account has been compromised?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Log out from all your devices:<\/strong> With services like Spotify (or Netflix, Hulu, etc.) that allow you to log in on multiple devices, someone could potentially log in with a compromised account and then remain logged in after you have changed the password.\u00a0 To avoid this, most services give you the option to log out of all devices.\u00a0 For Spotify, you first click on the \u201cAccount\u201d option in the top right corner of the desktop app. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-49260\"

password. I know it may seem like a hassle to maintain a list of passwords, but there are many password management tools available.\u00a0 McAfee has a tool called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truekey.com\/\">True Key<\/a> that can help create and manage unique and complex passwords.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look for alternate login options:<\/strong> Spotify has the option to use Facebook authentication for login.\u00a0 This method transfers an authentication token from Facebook to Spotify, so no password is stored with Spotify.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Passwords are a huge component of our digital lives and are not going away anytime soon.\u00a0 In the security industry, we regularly see poor password choices being used to secure extremely sensitive information.\u00a0 To get people thinking about improving their online security, McAfee is spearheading World Password Day, an educational campaign to show consumers how to secure their digital lives. This year, World Password Day will be celebrated on May 5th.<\/p>\n<p>Want to get involved? Here\u2019s how you can participate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a password horror story?
