WORKSHOP Tehama County offers course on labor commissioner visits TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO Spotify is requiring people listening to its popular music ser- vice on Android devices to install new software as a safeguard against a recent security breach. The break-in so far has only resulted in unauthor- ized access to one user's ac- count, according to a Tues- day disclosure posted on- line by Oskar Stal, Spotify's chief technology officer. He saidpasswordsandfinancial information were not stolen. Spotify has more than 40 million users. A substantial number of them rely on An- droid, the world's most pop- ular mobile operating sys- tem. Spotify users stream- ing on iPhones, iPads and Windows devices don't have to upgrade at this time. Some users will be re- quired to re-enter their passwords to log in. And Android device us- ers prompted to upgrade their Spotify application may have to deal with an- other headache: All previ- ously saved offline playlists must be downloaded again. The Spotify breach is just the latest intrusion into a prominent company. Just last week, e-commerce company eBay Inc. required its users to change pass- words after its database was hacked. Thieves stole 40 million credit and debit card numbers from cus- tomers shopping at Target stores in November and De- cember. The personal in- formation of about 70 mil- lion Target customers was also snatched. The breach prompted many consum- ers to shop elsewhere. SECURITY Spotify breach requires app upgrades By Josh Boak The Associated Press WASHINGTON U.S. home prices rose in March, but the gains are decelerating as fewer Americans can af- ford to buy. The Standard & Poor's/ Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 12.4 per- cent in March compared with12monthsearlier.While healthy, that rate of growth has slowed from both Febru- ary and January. Home prices rose in 19 of the 20 cities in March com- pared with the previous month, with only New York registering a slight decline, Standard & Poor's reported Tuesday. Leading the gains wasSanFranciscowitha2.4 percent monthly increase, while prices in Seattle, an- other hub for technology firms, rose 1.9 percent. Rising prices and higher interest rates beginning in the middle of last year made homes less affordable for would-be buyers. Meanwhile, a limited sup- ply of homes is available to buy. New construction has focused increasingly on rental apartments, instead of single-family homes. And 9.7 million Americans are stuck in homes worth less than their mortgage debts, making them reluctant to sell, according to the real es- tate data firm Zillow. The price gains over the past 12 months were the "re- sult of a witch's brew," said Stan Humphries, chief econ- omist at Zillow. It was made possible by the lows of the housing bust that began in 2007, the historically low mortgage rates and a lim- ited supply of homes on the market. "These influences are be- ginning to fade, and we're al- readyseeingamonthlyslow- down in home prices in more recent data," Humphries said. Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the monthly gains reported by the Case-Shiller index seem excessive. "Every indicator of hous- ing market activity and prices we know is slowing or falling outright," Shep- herdson said. The index is not adjusted for seasonal variations, so the gains can reflect the warmer weather after a harsh winter. Tampa showed the larg- est slowdown in annual price gains. Its growth rate went from 13.4 percent year- over-yearinFebruaryto10.7 percent in March. Las Vegas and San Francisco posted thestrongestyear-over-year growth. Home sales and construc- tion started recovering abouttwoyearsagofromthe GreatRecession.Butasharp jump in mortgage rates last spring caused sales of exist- ing homes to start falling in the summer. Averageratesforfixed,30- yearmortgageslastweekare 4.2percent,comparedto3.51 percent a year ago. The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that existing homes sold in April at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.65 million, a 6.8 percent decrease over the past 12 months. The Case-Shiller index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. The index measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and cre- ates a three-month moving average.
