Hackers were highly trained computer experts recruited by China to serve in their armed forces. Hackers could remotely disable enemy structures using sophisticated computer programs. More often, however, they were employed in illegally accessing the insecure bank accounts of unsuspecting Internet users, covertly diverting money into China's military coffers. Later in the conflict, the innocuously-named Internet Center was developed to protect and aid Hackers in this task. While China denied the use of this tactic, GLA attacking forces caught Hackers red-handed on more than one occasion, landing them a propaganda coup.
General Shin Fai created a core of elite hackers, the Super Hackers that were trained by Black Lotus herself.
[edit] Tactics/Counters
Most of the time Chinese generals would train Hackers midway through a battle in order to stop their funds running out. The Internet Center was useful for keeping Hackers safe from enemy units, but was not always considered essential. As they gained experience, Hackers could acquire more and more money at a time. However, being defenceless infantry units, Hackers required protection at all times, and were an attractive target for enemy units.
