A Telegram channel impersonating U.S. Air Force Gen. John Hyten attracted hundreds of thousands of users this week. It was used to spread a series of cryptic comments and language related to the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Gen. Hyten, who is the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the country's second-highest-ranking military officer, does not have a social media presence and the Telegram account was a fake, his spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday.
