The Washington Post has cited unnamed current and former US and Japanese officials as saying Chinese military hackers gained access to Japan's classified defence networks in 2020.

abc.net.au/news/pentagon-sharing-intelligence-with-japan-despite-china-hack/102702934The Pentagon says it is confident about sharing intelligence with Japan, despite a US news report saying Chinese military hackers gained access to Japan's most sensitive defence networks.

Earlier this week, the Washington Post cited unnamed current and former US and Japanese officials as saying that Chinese military hackers gained access to Japan's classified defence networks in 2020, accessing information about the US ally's military capabilities, plans and assessments of shortcomings.

Sabrina Singh says the United States will let Japan speak to its own intelligence and cyber capabilities. The US National Security Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Post report, which comes ahead of a trilateral summit between the United States, Japan and South Korea, at which the three allies are expected to announce plans to step up security cooperation in the face of increasing concerns about China.
