Heads up: A-list actor just posted a screenshot of their Uber Eats order to their main feed

This happened last Thursday night. I was just scrolling and saw a huge movie star, who I won't name but you'd know them, post a screenshot of their Uber Eats receipt to their public Instagram story. It was clearly meant for a friend or their assistant, because the caption was something like 'order this for me please, I'm stuck in hair and makeup.' It had their full name, the hotel address in Vancouver, and the last four digits of the card they used. It was up for a solid 45 minutes before it vanished. I took a screen recording because I couldn't believe it. It's a perfect example of how easy it is to hit the wrong share button when you're rushing. Has anyone else caught a celebrity accidentally leaking personal info like that?

Honestly tho, how much damage can you really do with a hotel name and four card digits? They change rooms like every day and you can't buy anything with just that.

My identity got stolen that exact way.

Actually worked in hotel security for a bit. That info is a huge start for a social engineering attack. A scammer can call the front desk, sound like a stressed guest with "their" card details, and socially engineer their way into more info or even a room charge. Seen it happen. Never, ever post that stuff.
