Watertight Safes on Sunken Superyacht Raise Security Concerns
The Investigation into the Sunken Superyacht
Specialist divers surveying the wreckage of the $40 million superyacht that sank off Sicily in August, killing seven people, have asked for heightened security to guard the vessel. Concerns have arisen that sensitive data locked in its watertight safes may interest foreign governments. Italian prosecutors have opened a criminal probe into the tragedy.
What Lies Within the Safes?
The sunken vessel, anticipated to contain highly sensitive data, may include two super-encrypted hard drives holding classified information. An official involved in salvage plans has expressed concerns over the nature of the data.
Security Measures and Ongoing Concerns
- Heightened security has been requested above and underwater.
- The wreck is located at a depth of approximately 50 meters (164 feet).
- Investigators are focusing on preventing foreign governments from accessing sensitive information.
A formal request has been accepted for additional security until the yacht can be raised.
