Earlier this month hackers hijacked the Verizon phone number of Euphoria and White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney, according to a photo of a Verizon receipt posted online which showed someone had made changes to a Verizon account in her name.   

The news provides more context on how hackers may have taken over Sweeney’s Twitter account to boost the value of an obscure cryptocurrency on the same day. The hack also highlights how telecommunications companies continue to be a soft-spot for personal and professional security, even for high profile stars.
