Someone random playing Spotify on my Google Home Mini

[Aarjay123]

Hello,

I have recently noticed names of random people playing music on my 1st generation Google Home Mini via Spotify. It has only been this speaker I've noticed this happening.

Here's a screenshot:

It then prompts to take over the session and remove other people.

I've unplugged the speaker as I suspected it maybe has been somehow hacked. There's no one else connected to my internet network, and as far as I know, none of the Spotify accounts connected to my network have been hacked.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,

I would change your Spotify password, sign out of anywhere it's logged into and remove all access to your account.  Unlink then relink in the Google Home app.

See if that clears up this issue.

Go To your Spotify dashboard after logging in, Find link devices or Third Person Parties. 

Disconnect/Remove Any unwanted connections
