It was a Friday morning in 2021, and Kate Conger, a tech reporter for The New York Times,

was scrolling through Twitter like we all do.

But then, something caught her eye.

The first line of the tweet said, I have been the victim of a very serious fishing attack.

She was posted by a prominent Indian journalist and TV anchor, Nadie Rosdahn.

There were screenshots of a statement attached.

According to Rosdahn, in 2020, she'd accepted what she thought was a job offer at Harvard

to be an associate professor of journalism.

This would be a major life change, which included leaving her job in the public spotlight

after 21 years and moving to the US.

But then, she wrote, she started noticing a number of administrative anomalies.

Hmm, sounds fishy already.

So Rosdahn reached out to senior folks at Harvard about these issues.

And when she heard back from them, they just told her straight up, they had no clue what

she was talking about.

Harvard wasn't aware at all of Rosdahn or her job offer, and there was more.

Something attacked, was somebody's professional career?

On the day naps is one thing, but this is a different thing.

Rosdahn said this was an elaborate attack.

The perpetrators got access to her personal data and might even have access to her social

media accounts and devices.

But here's the thing, she didn't know who they were.
