Graffiti has appeared threatening an Irish News journalist in North Belfast threatening an Irish News journalist.
Daubings against the newspaper's security correspondent Allison Morris appeared in Rosapenna Street, a nationalist part of the city.
They described Ms Morris as a "target" and an MI15 agent.
The incident is the second such message posted in a week, with Sunday World reporter Patricia Devlin being the subject of another message in a loyalist part of east Belfast last weekend.
Ms Morris took to social media, describing those responsible as "idiots".

The National Union of Journalists has criticised these attacks on journalists.
Meanwhile, Patrick Corrigan, Amnesty International Director in Northern Ireland says the PSNI must get a grip on these attacks.
"This graffiti is by no means the first time Allison Morris has been on the receiving end of threats here and it's just the latest in a long litany of sinister threats against journalists here."
Mr Corrigan added, "This is yet another attack on freedom of the press in Northern Ireland."
"The police have to get a grip on this problem and hold those responsible, accountable before the law."
