Students at UCL woke up to a rather large surprise in their inbox this morning after their university's email system was hacked and 3,136 emails were sent out.
No-one's quite sure why the university's provost was targeted late on Wednesday night, or indeed what "bello" means, but sure enough a hashtag was born - and is still trending this morning.
It all started when an email was sent by someone imposing as Provost Michael Arthur to all 26,000 students simply saying "bello!".
This is the e-mail that started it all. #bello #bellogate pic.twitter.com/wkCQyXaDxG
