Japanese media: Chinese People’s Liberation Army suspected instructing hackers to attack about 200 Japanese companies and research institutes 
 
Japan NHK quoted a news and stated, Tokyo police discovered there is a Chinese hacker organisation launched a large-scale cyber-attack on about 200 research institutes and private companies including the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The Japanese authorities suspect that these hackers were instructed by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. 
 
The source revealed to the Japan Broadcasting Association, JAXA has been cyber-attacked in 2016. Tokyo police have targeted a 30-year-old Chinese system engineer, accusing him of being a member of the Chinese Communist Party. He was accused of renting domestic servers under a false name to attack the systems of multiple institutions. 
 
He is alleged to have forwarded these server numbers and related certificates to a Chinese hacker organisation called Tick. The man has left Japan, but the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department submitted the man’s case to the prosecutor as early as Tuesday, accusing him of falsifying digital records.
