BBC journalist Nick Robinson says his Twitter account was hacked and used to promote cryptocurrency after he was targeted in an online phishing scam. He was locked out of his account and his passwords were changed, so “anything you read today, it won’t be me”. He thinks his main mistake was not to check the email address which made clear it wasn’t Twitter that was contacting him. He had fallen for the scam despite having completed online security courses which highlighted tell-tale signs of phishing emails.
