Sydney Sweeney’s cellphone taken over by scammers and X account HACKED on SAME day – as cryptic messages emerge on social media
As a lifestyle expert with a background in cybersecurity and privacy, I strongly condemn the recent incidents of hacking experienced by Sydney Sweeney and Doja Cat. These attacks not only violate their personal privacy but also put them at risk of financial loss and damage to their reputations.
On the very day that Sydney Sweeney’s X account was compromised by hackers, her cell phone fell into the hands of scammers who used it to spread information about a fraudulent crypto coin scheme.
I, being an unabashed fan of the 26-year-old actress beloved for her role in “Anyone But You,” was taken aback when news broke about an alarming incident involving her privacy. A digital trail led us to a July 2 Verizon Wireless receipt, publicly disclosed online, revealing modifications made to her cellphone account.
On the very same day, the star’s authentic X social media account shared mysterious messages promoting a potentially fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme.
In their image, obtained from 404Media, Sydney Sweeney is seen holding a letter that reads: “Hi Sydney Sweeney, Thank you for your purchase. If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.” An iPhone and its packaging were placed next to the receipt, with all bought items neatly arranged on a Mercedes-Benz S550.
The publication says the receipt indicates Sweeney was a victim of ‘SIM swapping.’
A con artist illegally takes over another person’s phone number and uses it on their own device, this is known as sim swapping.
After the phone number is pilfered and shifted to a new device, the individual in possession of it can now make and receive calls, as well as send texts, using the stolen number.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Sydney Sweeney for comment.
Verizon representative Richard Young commented to the media outlet, expressing that Verizon places a high priority on customer privacy and account security. Upon learning of any concern, we promptly look into the matter and take appropriate steps to resolve it and prevent future occurrences.
“We’ll keep this discussion general and our method for handling this situation is the same as we would do for any other case.”
Based on my understanding of cryptocurrency and social media interactions, I believe the now-deleted messages on Sweeney’s account were hinting at a potential token sale or announcement. The use of phrases like “it’s time,” “$sweeney is now live,” and “100mc incoming” suggest that something new was about to be launched or revealed. Additionally, the mention of burning 10% of the supply at a certain price point is a common tactic used in token sales to control inflation and increase scarcity.
An posted link led users to a meme coin named Pump.fun on the meme coin platform, which hackers falsely attributed to the actress.
Another message read: ‘going live on spaces soon stay tuned to see what $sweeney can do.’
Sweeney swiftly regained control of the account and the posts were erased.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Lately, there have been some questionable posts on Doja Cat’s X account that left many people wondering if something was amiss. One tweet in particular, which criticized Iggy Azalea, fueled speculation that the rapper’s account had been hacked.
A 28-year-old musician from Agora Hills, who had deactivated her Instagram account due to cyberbullying in March, reactivated it and posted a message: “Someone has hacked my Twitter account. The messages there do not reflect my views.”
After a tweet from the Grammy-winning artist read, “I hate that annoying woman @IGGYAZALEA. Go purchase some $DOJA instead,” she sent a message.
I find it truly disheartening to witness yet another instance of hacked social media accounts causing chaos and spreading misinformation in the world of entertainment. As a longtime fan of both Nicki Minaj and the rap scene, I can’t help but feel a sense of disappointment when I read about such incidents.
Doja responded to a post by Andrew Tate with a casual “hello dear” or “hey sweetheart.”
Another unauthorized tweet, among several others, contained a picture of the artist wearing a chainmail hood and waving a knife, with the caption: “Purchase $DOJA, or face the consequences.”
Iggy seemed unbothered by the supposed criticism and responded on Twitter with, “Go ahead and be rough if you like, but I’m fine with that girl in real life. So your tweet, hackers, is misguided.”
In relation to Doja’s social media controversy, the Australian rapper expressed her viewpoint by stating, “Doja Cat’s account was hacked and used to promote a fraudulent cryptocurrency.”
She added: “Hackers keep targeting celebrity girls’ accounts, making it seem like it’s all about me because I’m their obsession. However, they failed to consider that I engage with people in real life, and this behavior doesn’t align with my reality.”
Nicki and Andrew have yet to publicly respond to the tweets.
In March, Doja Cat closed her Instagram account unexpectedly, explaining to her fans that she felt disrespected and mistreated on the platform, causing her to leave.
