Breaking: Spotify Outage Reported

Attention all music lovers: Spotify, the popular music streaming service, experienced a widespread outage starting around 6 a.m. PT this morning. According to reports from Downdetector, an IGN sister site, the influx of outage reports continued throughout the morning. Our team at IGN also faced difficulties accessing the service, and even when we managed to open the app, it failed to play any music.

Spotify has officially acknowledged the issue and is actively working to resolve it as swiftly as possible. They have also debunked rumors circulating about the outage being linked to a security breach, confirming that these claims are unfounded.

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.
