Cole Sprouse's Twitter Just Got Hacked And It Was Pretty Dangerous By Katie Louise Smith The hackers tweeted about Dylan's rumoured girlfriend and made explicit comments toward Disney. If you woke up this morning to a confusing stream of tweet notifications from Riverdale's Cole Sprouse, you should probably ignore them because it wasn't him. Yep, Cole's Twitter account was hacked by a group of Fortnite streamers last night and they sent out some pretty savage messages on his timeline - including one about a fake meet up in Los Angeles. Picture: CHRIS DELMAS/AFP/Getty Images Fans noticed that something was wrong with Cole's account after they started getting loads of notifications from his account. The tweets from the hackers ranged from self-promo about their personal accounts and Twitch streams to tweets about Dylan Sprouse's rumoured girlfriend Barbara Palvin and even explicit tweets about Disney. A few hours later, Lili Reinhart tweeted to let fans know that Cole's account had indeed been hacked.

Fuck people who do that, seriously. — Lili Reinhart (@lilireinhart) August 14, 2018 . While the hackers didn't do too much damage to Cole's account, fans are concerned about the one of the tweets in particular, regarding a meet up in Los Angeles. Of course, fans are pointing out that the cast are no longer in LA, they flew back to Vancouver straight after the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night. The tweet was RT'd over 200 times and faved by over 2000 people before it was deleted. ⚠️WARNING⚠️ COLE SPROUSE’S ACCOUNT HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN HACKED THE HACKER IS SAYING THERE IS A MEET & GREET IN LOS ANGELES DO NOT GO THE CAST IS CURRENTLY IN TORONTO SPREAD THE WORD SO NO ONE WILL GET HURT — laura🐙 (@laurakdyer) August 14, 2018 GUYS @colesprouse WAS HACKED AND THE HACKER IS POSTING ABOUT A MEET AND GREET IN LOS ANGELES.

Cole's account is now back in his possession and the tweets have since been deleted. Order has been restored and normal business will resume on the account of 2018's Choice Male Hottie shortly. Honestly, thank god that's over... but ummmm, maybe he shouldn't have spoken the damn thing into existence in the first place.<doc-sep>It’s not been the best 24 hours for Cole Spouse after it’s been revealed that someone managed to hack into his Twitter account and fire off a series of offensive messages. While the Riverdale actor hasn’t directly commented on the situation, girlfriend Lili Reinhart has come forward to share a brutal response to the person who tried to set up a fake meet-and-greet in Los Angeles. Getty For anyone who missed the drama, PopBuzz are reporting that fans first noticed the hack at 8:45pm on Monday when Cole’s account began posting messages about Dylan Sprouse’s rumoured girlfriend, their time at Disney, and multiple requests for follow-backs. The tweet that resulted in most people realising the messages weren't legit was centred around a fan meet a greet taking place in Los Angeles, despite the cast currently filming in Canada. https://twitter.com/michealarosee/status/1029167697060347904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1029167697060347904&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teenvogue.com%2Fstory%2Fcole-sprouse-hacked-on-twitter Having spotted the messages on her feed, 21-year-old Lili sent out a post to her followers reading: “Cole’s Twitter has been hacked BTW. F*ck people who do that, seriously." https://twitter.com/lilireinhart/status/1029193949972316161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1029193949972316161&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teenvogue.com%2Fstory%2Fcole-sprouse-hacked-on-twitter This is all pretty ironic, considering Cole recently cracked a joke about having such a weird Twitter presence that nobody would ever be able to tell if he’d been hacked. At the time, he wrote: “The point is to establish a strange enough twitter that if someone hacks your sh*t it would just look like business as usual." https://twitter.com/colesprouse/status/1003393771004981250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1003393771004981250&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.teenvogue.com%2Fstory%2Fcole-sprouse-hacked-on-twitter Life imitates art. But in all seriousness, let’s hope whoever was responsible for the hack will face some consequences for this.<doc-sep>Cole Sprouse has had an exciting few days, what with winning several Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, and then getting roasted on Instagram by his costar KJ Apa about his Choice Male Hottie honor from the ceremony. The excitement continued into Monday evening...but this time for an unfortunate reason: Cole was the victim of an extensive Twitter hack on Aug. 13. According to PopBuzz, fans began noticing the hack around 8:45 p.m. on Monday, after Cole's account began tweeting a barrage of confusing messages, including references to the game Fortnight, requests for follow backs, and odd NSFW comments about Dylan Sprouse's reported girlfriend and Disney. One tweet in particular raised the alarm for fans: a post about a fake meet and greet with the Riverdale cast in Los Angeles. One person helpfully pointed out on Twitter that the cast is actually in Canada, where they are filming Riverdale's third season. Lili Reinhart, Cole's Riverdale costar and reported girlfriend, also noticed the hack and tweeted accordingly. She wrote, "Cole’s Twitter has been hacked BTW. F*ck people who do that, seriously." Ironically, Cole himself tweeted about a potential hack back in June, which just proves there really is a tweet for everything. As Seventeen pointed out, on June 3, he wrote, "The point is to establish a strange enough twitter that if someone hacks your sh*t it would just look like business as usual." As of Tuesday, the tweets from the hack have since been deleted. Teen Vogue reached out to Twitter, who said they do not comment on individual accounts. However, per Twitter's guidelines, "Twitter accounts portraying another person in a confusing or deceptive manner may be permanently suspended." Hopefully that means the hackers can be traced. Cole has not yet weighed in on the incident, but we hope he'll get back to his usual fun Twitter shenanigans in no time. Teen Vogue has reached out to Cole Sprouse's team for comment.

It can be upsetting and damaging in more ways than one. But once the whole ordeal is over, sometimes having a good laugh is the best way to deal. Cole Sprouse did just that after he and Lili Reinhart fell prey to hackers. Earlier this week, hackers took control of Cole Sprouse's Twitter, posting a bunch of messages that didn't quite add up, including information about a fake meet and greet. After Lili confirmed the hack on her own social media, the hackers came after her too. In a tweet on August 16, Cole made a joke about the whole hacking thing, seemingly making light of the attempt by the hackers to pass of a nude photo of a woman as Lili. The hackers reportedly posted a nude photo on Lili's Twitter, claiming it was her when it actually wasn't. While posting nude photos of someone or trying to pass off nude photos as being of someone they aren't is always a violation of privacy and consent, Cole cracked a joke seemingly to diffuse the situation. "Thanks to all the fans that had our backs over the last couple days, especially after that pic of my breasts was spread all over the internet," Cole wrote. Fans thought Cole's tweet was pretty funny, reacting with laughing emojis and, per usual, all types of gifs of Cole. One Twitter user made an important point, though. "What a great way to make the situation better cole 😹 but anyways you both didn’t deserve this I hope no one else gets hacked," @bbylusero wrote. No one deserves to be hacked, and no one should have to deal with a nude photo leak — fake or not.

Life wasn’t so “Suite” for Cole Sprouse after gamers hacked his Twitter account to share horrifyingly offensive tweets. The “Riverdale” star is known for his dark sense of humor on social media, but fans quickly noticed something was shady about Cole’s posts on Monday night. Hackers shared over a dozen tweets from his account, where they made awful allegations against Disney and an explicit comment about Dylan Sprouse’s girlfriend, Barbara Palvin. Cole Sprouse has 100% been hacked 😳😳 pic.twitter.com/l0K0zhybdE — micheala 🌹 (@michealarosee) August 14, 2018 Cole’s Twitter hack got dangerous after the culprits promoted a spontaneous meetup asking the actor’s followers to meet at a Los Angeles address. “Riverdale” fans were immediately concerned that something frightening could occur at the meet and greet, since the entire cast is currently filming in Canada. Several accounts took to Twitter to urge fans to stay away and “spread the word so no one will get hurt.” ⚠️WARNING⚠️ COLE SPROUSE’S ACCOUNT HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN HACKED THE HACKER IS SAYING THERE IS A MEET & GREET IN LOS ANGELES DO NOT GO THE CAST IS CURRENTLY IN TORONTO SPREAD THE WORD SO NO ONE WILL GET HURT — pumpkin spice laurte🍁 (@lxurxkxthryn) August 14, 2018 The 26-year-old’s girlfriend and co-star Lili Reinhart confirmed that he was hacked and shared some choice words for the hackers. “Cole’s Twitter has been hacked BTW,” she tweeted. “F**k people who do that, seriously.” Cole’s Twitter has been hacked BTW. Fuck people who do that, seriously. — Lili Reinhart (@lilireinhart) August 14, 2018 As for who exactly was behind the hack, fans believe it was a group of Fortnite gamers who promoted their own social media accounts and Twitch livestreams to the actor’s 8.9 million followers. Cole is now back in control of his tweets, though he has yet to comment on the hack. Oddly, he kind of predicted this would happen back in June. “The point is to establish a strange enough twitter that if someone hacks your s**t it would just look like business as usual,” he previously wrote. https://twitter.com/dullldolan/status/1029164534613897216 Cole may have done too good of a job at that!
