The Government has accused China of being behind a successful hack of New Zealand's Parliament three years ago in which some MPs' data was taken but nothing sensitive or strategic.

The Prime Minister has condemned the cyber-attack; China's embassy said the claim is a groundless and irresponsible smear.

The naming and shaming comes after similar action in the United Kingdom and United States overnight.
