Sorry to burst the bubble: P.H. _is_not_ a famous person, she's just one of thousands rich and stupid nobodies, whose stories flooding mass media. Nothing interesting in particular.
"...and her phone gets brutally hacked..."
If the password was the name of her pet, it's not a hack - just guessing. Maximum complexity: her password was brute-forced - it's not a hack, either. Every kid with war-dialer can do it.
"...her whole life -- and those of many others -- is completely disrupted..."
So, the "selebrities" phones will be ringing instantly. Everybody will learn that L.B. got a hairy beer belly. Newsflash...
How about some news?
