SoundCloud Breach

Yesterday I had a scam email sent via the address I only use for SoundCloud so I went searching and found >> this << piece of information.

I’ve tried to reach out to them to find out why I wasn’t informed that my personal details were in that breach so I could take appropriate actions before crap like this happened.

Enter the AI Chatbot Otto.

It was an absolute nightmare trying to get it to put me through to the right place and I’m still not sure I was successful. I was supposed to get an email with a support ticket number but nothing so I chased it up today; it’s apparently still open awaiting an actual human to look into it.

In the meantime I’m going to host my meagre 6 tracks here and this site will now host any future music from me if I ever get the whim to create any more.

I have already changed the email address associated with my account and deleted the old one so it’s now invalid but if they don’t give me a satisfactory response I shall simply delete my account there and be done with it. Mistakes are made but not actually informing their users of the breach is not a mistake, it’s at best incompetence and at worse deliberate concealment.
