It is scary how many people apparently believed such a ridiculous tale - and this was just a prank.

Modern 'fake news' could be far more powerful as it uses bespoke messages to target each small audience segment etc. and far from being a prank it is a serious 'cyberweapon' being deployed by political factions and nation states.
