You think the NYT will be open and transparent about what happened?
Like they are with all their other "facts"?
Or will they seek to defend their economics columnist at all costs?
Krugman now says he was the victim of a Phishing scam.
"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 said in a since-deleted tweet.
The tweet drew baffled responses from Twitter users, many of whom pointed out that an IP address isn't a device or system that can be compromised — it's just a number that identifies a computer on a WiFi network.
Krugman later said that, after his colleagues at the Times looked into the issue, he realized the phone call was likely a scam. A spokesperson for the Times said in a statement to Business Insider that the paper's security team determined Krugman had fallen victim to a scam.
The incident appears to be an example of a phishing scam, in which scammers pose as an authority or service provider (like a computer security service) to scare their victims into handing over personal information.

(Twat TS deleted to avoid doxx)
>Why did you block the time of the tweet? So people wouldn't realize it's old as shit?
As I said in the post, I deleted the timestamp to avoid revealing my location, faggot.
I also included the link to the tweet so you could look at it for yourself.
Can you even fucking read?
>1. The fact that you think your timezone doxes you reveals more about you than if you would have just left it in.
Retarded shill, are you drunk?
The time on the tweet reveals my timezone.
Is it your first day on the internets?
Fucking faggot.
>If you were in the US, it wouldn't identify shit.
Typical myopic faggot.
>On top of that, if you would have just screenshotted it when not logged in, it just uses PST.
Wrong. Dumbass faggot.
