A James Bond-esque mission to recover highly sensitive secret files held in safes aboard the sunken super-yacht Bayesian was reportedly carried out by UK intelligence service MI6 before Italian divers could get to them.
The top secret documents related to yacht owner Mike Lynch’s Darktrace cybersecurity company, which has contracts with UK, US and Israeli intelligence agencies, according to a report in the Italian press.
It is not associated with Autonomy, the company he sold to compluting giant Hewlett Packard for $11 billion in 2011.
