The Independent: Japan refuses to confirm if China hacked its defence networks
Japan on Tuesday refused to confirm if any security information was leaked through a cyberattack after a report claimed China hacked into the country's defence networks.
Chinese military hackers allegedly gained access to a sensitive and classified defence network in Japan in 2020, which provided Beijing access to Tokyo's military capabilities, plans and assessments of shortcomings, the Washington Post reported on Monday.
The hack was discovered by the US National Security Agency (NSA), prompting heads of the agency to fly to Tokyo to brief the Japanese defence minister, who asked the US officials to alert the prime minister themselves, the newspaper report said.

And you would not.
If you say yes, you confirm.
If you say no , you just helped confirm their test results.
That is why they say nothing.,
I think the US intelligence have tools we can't even imagine, so if they continue to share information it's probably not really "sensitive".
Concur
US is unconcerned cause it was fake news.
