Sydney Sweeney’s Phone Number and X Account Hacked on Same Day

Sydney Sweeney, known for her role in “Euphoria,” faced a double trouble day. Her phone number was hijacked, and her X account was taken over by hackers, all on the same day. This isn’t just a minor inconvenience; it’s a serious privacy breach. A Verizon receipt from July 2, posted online, showed changes made to her account. Experts believe she fell victim to “SIM swapping,” where hackers take control of a person’s phone number. This sneaky trick allows them to reroute texts and calls to their own devices.

The hackers used Sweeney’s X account to promote a crypto scam. They tweeted stuff like, “Well I think it’s time $sweeney is now live 100mc incoming,” and claimed to burn 10% of the supply. Scary stuff! Luckily, Sweeney got her account back quickly and deleted the bogus tweets. She’s not alone; other celebs like 50 Cent and Doja Cat have dealt with similar hacks. It’s a reminder that even stars aren’t immune to cyber threats.
