For years, I've had a bit of a digital pen pal.

His name is Kevin. He loves music, 'Coffee Table Jazz' in particular. He owns an Amazon Echo, through which he listens to his lovely, soothing John Coltrane trumpet croons. He doesn't often listen during the day, but at night the tunes come alive — probably while he's also hand rolling linguine next to a glass of a full-bodied cabernet. (Or at least, that's what I imagined.)

Netflix, Spotify, EA and Xbox are among the services most likely to be targeted by hackers, a survey has found. Here’s how to ensure you don’t become a victim. With free accounts, you can get limited features free of cost by logging into the app. But in the premium accounts, you have access to all features of the app. So, everyone wants access to premium features. But I will tell you a way through which you can get the premium account free of cost. How to Get Spotify Premium Free for PC 2020? There's something pretty alarming going on right now with Spotify Free. This started a several hours ago. If you have Spotify Free open, it will launch - and keep on launching - the default internet browser on the computer to different kinds of malware / virus sites. Some of them do not even require user action to be able to cause harm. I have 3 different systems (computers) which are all. Spotify offers two account types, i.e., Free and Premium. Features like offline listening, music, and album downloading are server-sided and directly linked to your Spotify account type. If you have a free Spotify account but using the Spotify mod app as a bypass to enjoy premium features, then you won’t be able to download any music.

I know all of this because Kevin and I have been linked at the hip (digitally) for years, all through a connected Spotify account. Every so often, while I'm listening to music on the app, it'll stop abruptly and I'll get a message that has become the bane of my existence: Now Playing on Kevin's Echo.

My name is not Kevin. Nor do I own an Echo. Nor do I frequent the music of Miles Davis (I mean I like it, but I do not care to listen while I am contorting my body like a Tetris figure to fit in a crowded New York City subway car). Yet, this kept happening. Some dude named Kevin kept hopping into my account and hijacking it. Did I even know any Kevins?

It'd happen everywhere. When I was at home. When I was walking the streets of Manhattan. While I was driving down the coast of California without cell reception. As I soared 30,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean, with no access to Wi-Fi. It felt like Kevin was the one person I could never escape, an irritating grade school bully whose sole purpose in life was to hit pause on my Spotify as soon as I hit play.

At first, sure, it was a subtle annoyance. A #firstworldproblem, if you may. But as a customer of Spotify Premium, it was more annoying than anything to be paying for something that failed to work. And it kept happening, and happening, and happening. Over the course of years.

It felt like Kevin was the one person I could never escape.

I'd assumed it was someone in my apartment building whose account somehow got entangled with mine, or a random dude in North Dakota who had no idea what he was doing. Or maybe it was Russia, who knows. I did everything I could think of to make it stop. I changed my password. I dug into my devices menu and disconnected from all of them. I revoked access from all apps connected to my account. I even had Spotify customer service reset it.

Nothing worked. No matter what I did, Kevin was there, punking me with the dulcet tones of a muted trumpet.

I later realized I was not the only person with this problem. There were multiple posts on Spotify's community forum detailing this very problem, all positing solutions of varying success with no explicit fix. People had tried changing passwords, disconnecting and resetting accounts, enabling two-factor authorization. Nothing they tried worked.

What is this bullshit that won't go away and keeps hijacking my @Spotify account
I've revoked access to all other devices, changed my password, and still I'm getting this crap

Eventually, I realized Kevin had won. There was no way of getting rid of him. So I gave in. When I noticed Kevin was listening to the account at a time I didn't really need it, I let him have it. I never listened to music at night, when he often jammed to his jazz. When my headphones went silent on a crowded subway car, I didn't even check my phone — I already knew what it was going to say. I started listening to podcasts. I even became, in a way, fond of Kevin, or at least for his disregard for authority and sheer audacity to highjack another person's Spotify subscription.

Instead of fighting his interference on Spotify, I became wildly obsessed with figuring out who this Kevin was. It dawned on me that if Kevin could take over my account, it had to also work the other way around. His Echo did, after all, appear on my computer. So there had to be a way I could beam music to it. And if there was a way to beam music to it, there might also be a way to communicate. A sonic message in a bottle, if you will.

One day, while at work, I tried.

It became a group effort to a cohort of coworkers who — after hearing my tale — became as invested in the task as I was. We huddled around my desk as I attempted to play virtual DJ from afar. I knew he was near his Echo because he'd already gone back and forth with me a few times that morning, taking over the account.

At first, I wanted to be funny, but then I thought it'd be more helpful to be clear with my intent. I played 'Who Are You?' by The Who.

I knew it'd worked when I saw that he'd paused the song about 5 seconds into it. I tried again. This time it was 'What's Your Name?' by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

In my three year war with Kevin, I'd found a way to shift the tables.

He listened for 5 more seconds, then stopped it.

I finally had the upper hand. In my three year war with Kevin, I'd found a way to shift the tables. I found it comical to think that Kevin might just be lounging around in his three-bedroom suburban cottage or in Russia or wherever, and his Echo would randomly turn on to bump some tunes. After all these years, maybe I had a bit more pent-up rage than I thought — all stoked with the help of some devious colleagues.

So, I got a little carried away.

I played 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' by Shawn Mendes. He listened for 5 seconds.

'Never Gonna Give You Up,' by Rick Astley. 18 seconds. (Yes, you're damn right I rickrolled him.)

'I Will Always Love You,' by Whitney Houston. 21 seconds.

'Kevin,' by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. 4 seconds.

'All Star,' by Smash Mouth. 6 seconds.

'All Star,' by Smash Mouth, round two. 4 seconds.

We found the experience enjoyable enough to send a few tweets.

Someone named Kevin is playing @B_Delos 's Spotify on *his* echo. Which means we can also DJ. So far we've chosen Rick Astley, Smash Mouth, and Macklemore...

I will uncover WHO this KEVIN is, one Rick Roll at a time https://t.co/FPkSzHNoeK

I didn't think much about it before halting my antics to run into a work meeting a few minutes later. I figured nothing would come of it beyond a handful of laughs — but maybe, just maybe Kevin would finally be conscious that there was someone else hiding in between his playlists.

That was until a friend I went to grad school with tagged me in this Facebook status.

Turns out, I KNOW KEVIN. We'd gone to grad school together at Northwestern in 2014. We'd been close friends while in school (for a class assignment, I actually profiled him), but after I left Chicago more than two year
