from ZeroHedge:

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman tweeted on Wednesday that someone is using his IP address – a numerical label assigned to each device on the internet – to download child pornography. He suggested that while he may be a random target, it “could be an attempt to Qanon me.”

Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography. I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me.

It’s an ugly world out there.

Update: Krugman later tweeted “The Times is now on the case.”

Or is Krugman doing what I’ve seen many perps do?

Getting in front of a criminal problem and trying to deflect, because this makes no sense.

No one normal would tweet this. They’d call law enforcement and handle quietly. https://t.co/9KBBY52gIW

Needless to say, the internet (which Paul predicted would be obsolete by now) is having fun with this:

Think Mrs. Krugman will buy it?
