Looks like Paul Krugman’s having an eventful day:
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.

Uhhh …
Is… Krugman livetweeting himself being phished? https://t.co/psZWAUZBnz

It … it would appear that way.
The atavistic, tribalist instinct here might be to use this as an opportunity to make mean-spirited jokes, but this is actually a genuinely horrifying situation and I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. https://t.co/ZWcWaR909R

That said, I still feel fully within my rights to clown on Kurt Eichenwald for that whole "accidentally revealing I'm into tentacle porn" thing. That was all on him.

Update:
At least Paul has the might of the New York Time behind him:
The Times is now on the case.
