Actress Shruti Haasan Alerts Fans About Twitter Account Hack

Shruti Haasan, known for balancing her artistic flair with outspoken honesty, found herself in an unexpected spotlight this week, not for a movie, but due to a security breach. Her official Twitter (X) account, which boasts over 7.8 million followers, was hacked by a cryptocurrency scam group. The intruders wasted no time, immediately using her account to promote crypto-related content.

This isn’t the first time major celebrity accounts have been targeted, but Shruti’s case adds to the growing list of large-following accounts being exploited for crypto promotion. The group behind the attack appears to be systematically aiming at high-visibility profiles. Shruti's team has since regained control of the account, and the actress issued a message to fans warning them not to engage with any suspicious posts made during the breach.

Though she’s taken a step back from Telugu films in recent times, Shruti continues to stay active on the Tamil cinema front. She's currently involved in projects like Coolie, Train, and Jananayagan, and will also return for Salaar Part 2. Despite the occasional social media storm, her film calendar remains busy.

Instead of a promotional campaign or teaser drop, it was a digital breach that brought Shruti back into headlines. But true to form, she’s handled the situation with clarity, cautioning fans while moving forward with her work. In a space where social media is both megaphone and minefield, her experience is a reminder that even the most followed aren’t immune to online threats.
