6/16/2023 Washington, DC – BREAKING: Jenny’s Number Exposed in Massive Cyberattack

Jenny, the girl whose phone number was immortalized in the 1981 hit song “867-5309/Jenny” by Tommy Tutone, has become a victim of a massive cyberattack that has compromised millions of private information across households in Louisiana and Oregon.

According to sources, the hackers, who are believed to be from Russia, have accessed Jenny’s driver’s license number, social security number, and of course, her phone number, which was already public knowledge thanks to the song.

Jenny, who declined to reveal her last name for privacy reasons, said she fears that the hackers will use her information to create a fake online profile for her and steal her identity.

“I regret ever giving my number out to that guy at the bar,” Jenny said in a Facebook post. “He said he was a musician and he seemed nice, but then he wrote that song and ruined my life. Now I have to deal with prank calls, stalkers, and identity thieves. Thanks a lot, Tommy Tutone.”

Tommy Tutone, whose real name is Tommy Heath, said he was sorry for any trouble he caused Jenny, but he also defended his artistic choice.

“I didn’t know it would become such a big deal,” Heath said in an interview with Rolling Stone. “It was just a catchy song about a girl I met once. I didn’t even know her last name. I thought it was a common number.”

Heath also revealed that he co-wrote the song with his lead guitarist Jim Keller, who claimed that Jenny was his ex-girlfriend and that he got her number from a bathroom wall.

“Jim was always a prankster,” Heath said. “He told me that story and I believed him. Maybe he made it up. Maybe there was no Jenny. Maybe we’re all living in a simulation.”

The song, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1982, has been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Everclear, Less Than Jake, and The Offspring.

It has also sparked a phenomenon of people dialing 867-5309 and asking for Jenny, sometimes causing problems for the owners of that number in different area codes.

One of them is Spencer Potter, a plumber from Louisiana, who said he has been receiving hundreds of calls a day since the cyberattack.

“It’s annoying as hell,” Potter said. “I don’t know who Jenny is and I don’t care. I just want to do my job and live my life. These hackers need to be stopped.”

Potter said he has contacted the authorities and his phone company to try to change his number, but so far he has had no luck.

“I guess I’m stuck with it,” Potter said. “Maybe I should change my name to Jenny and start a career as a singer. Maybe then I’ll get some peace.”

As far as Jenny is concerned, she’s decided to go into hiding again and hopes that the hackers will be caught soon. “I wonder if Tommy Tutone is behind it all. Maybe he is still obsessed with me after all these years? Maybe he wants to make me pay for rejecting him? Or maybe he just wants to write a sequel to his one-hit wonder?” Jenny pondered. One thing is for certain, Jenny knows she will never have a normal life as long as that song exists.
