A trove of top-secret documents and confidential data on foreign governments could be trapped inside the doomed Bayesian superyacht after the $40 million vessel capsized last month, killing its billionaire owner and six others last month, according to a report.
Italian prosecutors ordered heightened security around the sunken boat to protect the sensitive information that they believe was stored in water-tight safes before the Aug. 19 tragedy, sources told CNN.
Among the loot are two super-encrypted hard drives that hold highly classified information, including passcodes and other sensitive data, tied to a number of Western intelligence services, an official involved in the salvage plans said.
They likely belonged to Lynch, who was associated with British, American and other intelligence services through his various companies, including the cyber security company he founded, Darktrace.
He also served as an adviser to two British prime ministers on science, technology and cyber security during their tenures.

Secret documents are supposed to be stored in secure facilities, like an unlocked garage next to the Corvette.
sure. now hundreds of thousands will be spent to right this boat and I’m betting nothing will be found. remembering the story about a bank robber in prison but the loot was never recovered so of course the phones to any relatives are tapped. mom talks to him in prison and mentions she can’t plow up a field for growing veggies because of her age and health so he tells her to not plow up that field because he buried something he doesn’t want disturbed. of course the feds come and dig up the field but find nothing. a week later he calls mom and tells her to plant away.
Karl LOL Exactly because a Corvette is so much more secure.
Why were these docs on a private yacht anyway?
That’s terrible.
The exact same thing happened to all of my guns.
No. It’s not suspicious.
Nothing to see here.
I’m sure this shocking story is news to the pertinent intelligence agencies and has been a complete mystery for the month and three days it’s been since Davey Jones took custody. I’m only guessing that there’s been an underwater traffic jam in the area since then. Pure coincidence.
Pee Diddler’s videos are prolly on that boat.
Bkmk
If it was there it is gone by now.
Unless you are purposely disposing of them somehow.
CURIOUSOR & CURIOUSOR
I call BS on this. If that guy had that kind of information it would stored in a very High Security area on land somewhere. Certainly not in a safe on his yacht.
Yes now massive amounts of money will be spent to raise this boat to be able to check the safes, kind of like the novel Raise the Titanic, except on a much smaller scale. Will Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino be called in to handle this?
“Geraldo Rivera, white courtesy phone...”
...because a Corvette is so much more secure...
Well, the Corvetter was a well calculated ruse. If it was a Gremlin in the garage, the classified information would be much more appealing! s/
The existence of the information and its location isn’t very secret now.
Unless this whole thing is a honey pot.
Anything else would be ... ‘a conspiracy theory’!!
Never question anything.
It’s important that we trust all of the major media outlets on anything, especially when it comes to Joe Biden, COVID-19....
Must have been a statistical anomaly.
Oh, great. Better hope Chinese or Iranian divers don’t get there first. Chinese, anyway. Does sharia allow men to wear wetsuits?
