Uh huh.

Paul Krugman, economist at The New York Times, tweeted (and then deleted) a very strange story on Wednesday claiming that someone had hacked his IP address and was using it to download child porn.

"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 might be an attempt to Qanon me." He continued, "It's an ugly world out there."

Hardly anyone believes him. One Twitter user pointed out Microsoft's answer to users' concerns: "IP addresses cannot be compromised. It's just a number that identifies your system on the [typically local] network so that other computers can send responses to its requests...a PC itself can be compromised by malware or other more direct attacks, but this has nothing to do with the IP address itself."

It is entirely possible that Krugman fell for [a] scam. It is, however, very strange that he would go to Twitter to tell people about it instead of the FBI. If he really believed someone downloaded illegal material on his computer, that's a job for law enforcement and not the tech team at the NYT, which Krugman said was "on the case," leading to hilarious responses about "CSI: Boomer" and more.

Since we don't know what happened here, it seems reasonable that law enforcement should look at his computer just to make sure. Everyone remembers that Anthony Weiner also used the "hacking" defense when he was caught messing with underage girls through his computer. Jared Fogel did the same. Both were convicted of offenses against children.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Krugman is a major male appendage.
