Friends,
If you received a strange message from my Instagram recently asking you to “vote for me on Spotify”—please know, that wasn’t me.
My account was hacked and out of my control for three days. I deeply apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this caused. And for the record: there’s no such thing as voting on Spotify. I would never send a mass message like that. If I had a real personal ask, I’d send a text or make an old-fashioned phone call—especially if we haven’t spoken in a while.
The experience was frustrating and unsettling, but thankfully I’ve regained access and tightened my security settings.
Please stay vigilant—if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
With gratitude and a side of cyber caution,
Theda
