Sydney Sweeney is currently leading the headlines after her X account got hacked. The actress has often become the target of social media users ever since she became a global sensation after Euphoria. However on July 2, 2024, Tuesday, multiple posts regarding cryptocurrency were shared on the actress’s account. As per research, Sweeney’s account was hacked by some cryptocurrency scammers.

Referring to the actress as ‘Queen of Sol’, the account started to share a fake crypto lingo. The posts read, “The fake Solana-based meme coin, SWEENEY, prompted fans to pour in $13 million, surging over 2,500% in value, within less than an hour.” Though there has been no confirmation, as a Telegram channel was found linked to the posts, it seems they have been behind the hack.
