The Washington Post reported on a 2020 hack on the Japanese military conducted by Chinese cyberspies.
The hack gave Chinese spies access to Japanese military plans, capabilities, and shortcomings.
The Post on Monday detailed a previously unreported hack into Japanese military networks by China's People's Liberation Army in 2020.
The hack offered Chinese cyberspies access to Japanese military plans, capabilities, and shortcomings, the outlet reported.
The news, coupled with reports from May of China installing malware into US military systems, signals a significant escalation in how the People's Liberation Army — the military arm of China's ruling communist party — is targeting foreign adversaries.
