New Zealand's cyber security agency believes China has been behind numerous hack attacks spanning years.
The government joined western allies and Japan in calling out Beijing for so-called state-sponsored hacks, including a major incursion in February when Microsoft email servers were targeted.
The US has charged four Chinese nationals - three security officials and one contract hacker - with targeting dozens of companies and government agencies in the United States and overseas under the cover of a tech company.
Government Communications Security Bureau Director-General Andrew Hampton explains how they know the hacking came from China.
