Elizabeth Harris is a 71-year-old grandma that lives in Greensboro, North Carolina, and she's been getting threatening phone calls for weeks accusing her of being in Lizard Squad. Her phone number was included on the Lizard Squad dox list put out by a group calling themselves Finest Squad, and her number is one of the few that is not disconnected or elicits a "your number cannot be completed as dialed" error message. Because of this, she's borne the brunt of these angry, harassing phone calls, most of which happen in the middle of the night.
