I have 3 sonos one's that are vulnerable to an music hack app and customer care offers zero support or relief. These speakers are trash and at this point want a refund! It doesn't happen with sonos roam. Only the trash speakers. Even bought an sonos boost. Useless. I am livid!!

A simple internet search and community search will do that.

In my case the searches came back as being an insecure local network, or devices placed in DMZ, or Spotify connect session. I can’t find anything like the matter you refer too. In most cases I just read, not a single one points to it being a Sonos hack issue. You may have to (kindly) post a link for me to read… thanks.👍

I’ve reached out to the OP to find out more about this, though I suspect it’s as others have suggested; an unbroken Spotify Connect session.

 

Edit: the OP has a case open with our engineers to explore what’s happening to their system. It does not appear to be a vulnerability within the Sonos system.

Submit a Diagnostic soon after it happens and Sonos should be able to tell you how and from where it was initiated.

This is primarily a user community, though Sonos staff oversee it. 

I’m not sure any of us have a clue what you mean, unless it’s perhaps related to Spotify Connect?

Your speakers want a refund?  How much are they paying you?

If this is a Spotify issue, here is the way to deal with it.

I’m glad you’re the only one affected by this supposed hack. You’re welcome 👍🏼

Troll.

Who joined on Aug 29, 2019?

That would be what I’d call “forward planning”.

I AM NOT A TROLL JOHN!!

 

Then cite a source for this alleged hack, please.

Be quiet if you don't have anything helpful to add please!!

 

I would find a source about this alleged hack to be very useful !!!!!!!!

I think it's a jukebox hacking app. There's an app that can change music. 

On your local network? Anyone on your network can change the music. Keep unwelcome actors off the network.   

@Aboriginalbabe

I would change your WiFi SSID/password(s) and router login credentials, at the very least …and maybe do that at the earliest opportunity. That’s certainly the first steps I would do.

There is no one on My network. I have gone over this a dozen times with service provider. Even changed passwords.  It's ridiculous now.

Done that several times. Changed to xfinity due to their supposed protection. Still happening.  It's an Sonos internal vulnerability at this point. This has been going on for years and I have tried EVERYTHING.  But you know what? Going to call Xfinity one more time and go through the gateway settings..

Yes. I am the only one in the apartment.

Sorry I actually meant, have you come across any other reports of the issue you’re seeing elsewhere online - I was just interested to see what others are saying about their matter? (thanks) - any links to others would be helpful and perhaps show whether, or not the issue is isolated to your apartment etc.

I had a random song play on my Move from Spotify a week ago, all my family were in bed including me!. 11.55pm

The song was by an artist I'd never even heard of.

Did wonder at the time if someone could access my speakers via Spotify 🤔. 

Only if they’d been “in” your wifi before, and connected...and nothing was played from another source after that. 

When you connect to another streaming service, it “breaks” all previous connections via Spotify Connect, which can’t be re-established until they’re within your wifi network again.

What “music hack”? Why is the Roam different?

Yes, I am curious to know why the Roam is not affected by whatever this ‘hack’ is?

I tried searching for anything new on Sonos hacks and came up empty.

What is the hack?

Where is it disclosed / discussed?

Not going to do that. You're welcome.
