Sydney Sweeney rose to prominence with her role as Cassie Howard in HBO’s Euphoria along with starring in the first season of critically acclaimed anthology series The White Lotus. The actress has been appreciated for her performance in both series and earned her two Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
The actress recently appeared in Sony Pictures’ Madame Web alongside Dakota Johnson. The movie performed very poorly at the box office with critics citing it as an embarrassing mess. But Sweeney’s other release opposite Glen Powell; Anyone but You opened with mixed reviews from the critics and audience but during the filming, the duo became a hot topic for the industry. Now, experts revealed that someone else has been taking advantage of Sweeney’s growing fame.
Sydney Sweeney’s explicit images used as a medium to invade electronics with the virus
Sydney Sweeney is one of the biggest celebrities in the industry right now who has worked very hard to be at the place where she is today. There is also no doubt that her beauty has also gained a lot of attention apart from her brilliant acting. Now, hackers have invaded the phones and computers of people who are searching for explicit images online.
As reported by 404 Media, this whole situation started after Sydney Sweeney appeared as the host of Saturday Night Live looking as beautiful as ever. After the episode aired, the ‘Sydney Sweeney leak’ started to trend on X which was later reported as a scam by the media.
Daily Star reports that if someone looks up ‘Sydney Sweeney leak’, the search showcases various dodgy-looking accounts with links purporting to showcase the actress’ alleged leaks. However, clicking on those links would take the individuals to well-known malware sites thaudray.com and waufooke.com.
The report adds that the links also take the ones clicking on those to advertising services, artificially inflating impression numbers and generating revenue for scammers, hackers, and website hosts. The experts have shared a safety tip for the people stating;
“Your browser may be redirected to waufooke.com due to malware infection on your device, push notifications from malicious sites, or by being redirected from another website you visited. Less reputable sites may display malicious ads that redirect your browser to Waufooke.com in order to generate advertising revenue.”
The experts have suggested closing the page and considering installing an ad blocker like AdGuard. They noted that if they continue to see the pop-ups, they should immediately get their devices scanned and remove the virus if found. Sweeney has not yet commented on the situation.
Sydney Sweeney says she cannot allow herself to react to people talking about her body
Sydney Sweeney’s recent movie Immaculate; a psychological horror film premiered at the South by Southwest on 12th March 2024 and has received positive reviews from the critics. Ahead of the worldwide release of the movie, the actress spoke to Variety where she was asked about her reaction to the fans talking about her body in a certain way. Sweeney mentioned,
“I see it, and I just can’t allow myself to have a reaction. I don’t know how to explain it—I’m still trying to figure it out myself. People feel connected and free to be able to speak about me in whatever way they want, because they believe that I’ve signed my life away. That I’m not on a human level anymore, because I’m an actor.”
The Euphoria actress added that the characters she has played are for everyone else but then her as Sydney is not for her anymore. She notes that it’s this weird relationship that people have with her and she has no control or say over it.
Sweeney is now gearing up to go back to on sets of Euphoria and channel her Cassie Howard once again as she says that it feels like a family to her and she is always excited to go back and be with Maude Hunter and Alexa and everybody. The actress also admits that whenever they talk about returning to sets, it’s hard for them to realize that Angus Cloud won’t be there. She said she has always said Cloud was the heart of the show.
Immaculate is scheduled for release on 22nd March 2024.
