"NHK has learned that the Chinese military is suspected of ordering hackers to attack hundreds of targets in Japan, including the country's space agency and defense-related firms. Investigative sources say the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA, suffered a cyberattack in 2016. Tokyo police have identified a Chinese man who had leased several servers in Japan that were allegedly used in the attack. The man is said to be a computer engineer in his 30s, and a member of the Chinese Communist Party. He allegedly rented a server five times under false names. Police found that the servers' ID and other credentials were then passed on to a Chinese hacker group, known as "Tick." The man is no longer in Japan, but police plan to send his case to prosecutors as early as on Tuesday, on suspicion of forging digital records."
