  Imagine losing a carrier because a major world power’s military IT security is so incompetent they’re allowing sailors on active deployment to have unfettered internet access.

    There was a similar incident where they found a sailor on one US Navy ship had their own Starlink terminal because they were broadcasting an SSID. At the end of the day, you can’t fix stupid.

    One of the early successes of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was when they took out a barracks of foreign volunteers because around 40 of them were ex-british soldiers and Russian intelligence linked their phones to historical records collected outside British army bases.
