Sunken Superyacht May Hold Sensitive Intelligence Data, Prompting Security Concerns

Italian authorities heighten security around the wreckage of Mike Lynch's yacht, fearing interest from foreign governments.

Divers have found watertight safes on the sunken Bayesian superyacht, believed to contain highly classified information.
The yacht, owned by British tech tycoon Mike Lynch, sank off the coast of Sicily in August during a violent storm, killing eight people including Lynch and his daughter.
Authorities are concerned that foreign governments such as Russia and China may attempt to access the sensitive data onboard.
Italian prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into multiple manslaughter and negligent shipwreck, with the yacht's captain and two crew members under scrutiny.
Specialist divers are working to recover the wreckage and its contents, while ensuring no sensitive information falls into the wrong hands.
