New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is appearing to be having technical difficulties as he acknowledged Wednesday on Twitter that his IP address had been "compromised" and used to "download child pornography."

"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," Krugman wrote in the tweet. "I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me. It’s an ugly world out there."

Qanon is a reference to the group of conspiracy theorists who in recent years spread incriminating myths against many high-profile Democrats on social media.

Hmmmmm. Krugman a pedo?

[rktman]

Well isn't that how it always happens? 🐃💭💩

[Drango]

He needs to hire the Clintons as computer experts. Them and Jared.

[Trump.Deplorable]

Sounds like he got “caught” and is now blaming hackers

[Fido969]

Whatever he says, Krugman has never been right about it.

[Gay State Conservative]

That’s his story and he’s stickin’ to it!

[budj]

Start checking epstein’s old yearbooks.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Hes a far left DEMO isnt he?

In cahoots with Pedo Joe Slick Willie et al

[Fido969]

Aren’t IP address assigned randomly each time you log on?

[Paladin2]

Some people are out to get the paranoid and usually totally wrong headed Krugman?

Sounds like fun.

Pete Townsend of The Who said that *he* downloaded kiddie porn for “research”. As lame as that is it's better than Krugman’s story.

[The Duke]

If he had taken the time to do a little research I’m sure he could have come up with something far more believable. Were I him I probably would have blamed my wireless router.

[a fool in paradise]

Clintons will get to the bottom of it, you bet your bleachbit.

[SPRINK]

riiiiiiiiight….Hackers

[Sergio]

Getting ahead of the indictment?

[DannyTN]

I thought about the Clintons.
Hillary was just named Chancelor of Queens University.
And now a prominent economist at NY University suddenly is claiming someone is framing him with child porn.

But Queens University is in Ireland, so not that direct of competitor.

[lonevoice]

He should wipe his server with a cloth

[The Duke]

I think maybe "Krugman" is about to become a verb.

"Those hackers in Russia sure did Krugman me!"

[9YearLurker]

Bwahaha.

[Loud Mime]

I don’t trust anything on the computer any more.
