Spotify playlists and podcasts are being abused to push pirated software, game cheat codes, spam links, and “warez” sites.

By injecting targeted keywords and links in playlist names and podcast descriptions, threat actors may benefit from boosting SEO for their dubious online properties, since Spotify’s web player results appear in search engines like Google.
