HONG KONG: Two Reuters journalists had their identities faked by an unknown person or people who then used sham social media accounts to engage with Chinese activists on several online platforms over several months.
A fake account was set up on Instagram and one on Telegram purporting to be Pang, according to screengrabs from Badiucao seen by Reuters. Another activist told Reuters he had conversed with a fake persona of Goh via Telegram for three months. Badiucao said he became suspicious of the language and questions posed by the imposter, however, and asked to verify the person's identity through Pang's verified Twitter account.
A Reuters spokesperson said:"We are looking into the impersonation and theft of press credentials of Reuters journalists and will take appropriate action."
