This is similar to when #FireNickSaban was trending after he lost the CFP. Most people Tweeting the hashtag were wondering why it was trending.

I have a seldom used Twitter account and actors traced to Moscow have tried several times to hijack it.
So far so good. Each time Twitter has intercepted the attempt, notified me and I've taken added security measures.

Humm... Maybe Putin's Bot Armies are providing payback for Trump's surprise removal of troops from Germany earlier this week?
