Chinese spies allegedly set up Facebook page for NATO head
Facebook recently launched a system to verify accounts of prominent figures, but, for U.S. Navy Admiral James Stavridis, the feature came months too late. In a plot seemingly straight from a movie, last year, Chinese spies reportedly created a fake account for Stavridis, the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, and many senior British defense officials accepted friend requests from the account.
The UK Telegraph reported that \"state-sponsored individuals in China\" created the account, allowing them to gain access to a trove of private information, which included personal e-mail addresses and phone numbers. Stravridis now has a legit account of his own.
