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.

He then followed up, in a tweet, saying that the “Times thinks it may have been a scam. Anyway, will have more security in future.”

There is an email scam going around of late in which the sender claims that he hacked the recipient's computer and not only found evidence of kiddie porn, but used the recipient's web cam to take screen shots of the recipient spanking the monkey. The email concludes by demanding $2,500 in bit com to make this all go away.

I wonder if Ferret-Face’s name will appear in one of those 140,00 sealed indictments.

And the hacker used Krugman's computer. And his IP address. Oh, and his printer to print out the best ones for later.
