I might have expected Chinese to set up honey traps on Facebook, but to brazenly impersonate an officer and get his actual friends to share classified or higher stuff on FACEBOOK?!? FACEBOOK?!? It would not have mattered if that was really him; US defense secrets are not appropriate matter for FACEBOOK!!!

I’d comment, but I’m on the Nut Job Conspiracy Ping List. So I think it’s best to leave this one alone.

Stavridis uses Facebook quite a bit. For example, in October 2011 he used his Facebook account to tell the world of his intent to end the organization’s mission in Libya.

Curiouser and curiouser. This sounds like the real Stavridis, not the phony one. Unless he closed his account down, how could the Chinese do this right under his nose?

China gets a lot of information, just by being clever in looking for what’s available publicly.

hinese spies set up a face Facebook page for Adm. James Stavridis, chief of U.S. European Command and fooled a bunch of high-ranking military officials into friending the fake admiral and sharing info with them.

Thereby proving that common sense is not one of the requirements for becoming a high-ranking military official. Teenage girls also give away information on Facebook and later wish they could take it back, but usually their information isn't classified.

Why the hell are these so called higher ups so stupid???? Since when do you friend someone and then share sensitive information with them???? Lord Almighty we are going to be overrun and these dolts won’t even know it happened til the hackers change their Facebook status.
