LOS ANGELES — Riley Reid’s phone and Twitter account were compromised this evening after malicious hackers took control of her phone number.
The hackers then posted antisemitic and homophobic content to Reid’s account, which was still up hours after the hack.
Reid spoke to XBIZ tonight and explained that “basically someone hacked into my phone provider and was able to get the number switched to their provider and device, so they are getting all my calls and texts as well as two factor authentication.”
The performer is urging those who have her number to not text or call it because “otherwise this person will now have your number and you’re at risk of going through what I’m going through.”
Reid added the bad actors “have been able to hack into my eBay, Venmo, Amazon and more, plus now Twitter. This is the biggest disaster of them all.
“My Twitter is my pride and joy. It’s something I have worked so hard at building and for someone to hack into it and ruin it with hateful, disgusting tweets is horrible,” Reid said. “I’m embarrassed and can’t believe this is happening to me. I’m so sorry to anyone else who is affected by this. I hope that this person will have mercy and stop what they are doing. I hope they can have self perspective and realize they are causing harm in so many ways and simply stop.”
