Spy cameras on Navy drones secretly sent data to China; Special forces boats set for use in planned Gulf missions were fitted with Chinese-made components
"The drones were supplied by a major British defence contractor, Kraken Technology Group, which sourced the cameras from a third party who had given assurances about their security.
An investigation into the drones revealed that the cameras were transmitting “heartbeat communications” – data to confirm they were online and functioning normally – to an IP address in China. The MoD insisted that there was no evidence that any sensitive data or systems had been sent abroad." #military #infosec

@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange Does no one do a simple freaking wireshark on military tech or critical infrastructure *before rolling it out*?
