UK Royal Navy Kraken K3 Scout unmanned boats found with camera components transmitting data to China

A report says cameras on Royal Navy Kraken K3 Scout unmanned surface vessels transmitted “heartbeat” data to an IP address in China, prompting the UK Ministry of Defence to remove internet connectivity from the cameras. The MOD said a routine cyber assessment found no evidence that MOD data or systems were accessed or compromised, but acknowledged an issue affecting a K3 sub-system.
