Chinese hacker complains about ‘perverted’ American military

BEIJING, China — According to Chinese news agencies, the head of a People's Liberation Army unit of military hackers is planning to file a formal complaint today with the United States Department of Defense after a number of what were called "disturbing" conversations with "American military perverts."

Senior Colonel Bo Wang of the People's Glorious Facebook Battalion is one of thousands of Chinese military personnel who spend all-day attempting to infiltrate the social media profiles of US military and intelligence personnel with fake accounts.

Once a target is identified, the hacker will create a false profile, usually of an attractive member of the opposite sex, and 'friend' the target. Over time, a successful hacker can friend almost an entire unit and learn valuable information about military or intelligence plans.

The problem, as Colonel Wang soon found out, is that the majority of his targets are young American servicemen, most of whom only agree to friend requests because they expect sexual favors at some point.
