Swedish music streaming service Spotify has been compromised by hackers reports BBC News:
The music streaming service Spotify has been targeted by hackers.
The Swedish company says people's personal details, including e-mail addresses, dates of birth and billing addresses, were all stolen.
However, it is thought credit-card details, which were handled by a third party, have remained secure.
Spotify has apologised for the security lapse and advised users who registered on the site before 19 December 2008 to change their passwords.
It is thought hackers gained access to user data at the end of 2008, although the security breach only came to light at the end of last week.
