WASHINGTON/TOKYO—The Pentagon said on Tuesday it was confident about sharing intelligence with Japan, despite a U.S. news report saying Chinese military hackers gained access to Japan’s most sensitive defense networks.
On Monday, the Washington Post cited unnamed current and former U.S. and Japanese officials as saying that Chinese military hackers gained access to Japan’s classified defense networks in 2020, accessing information about the U.S. ally’s military capabilities, plans, and assessments of shortcomings.
