Fitness App Leads To Massive Security Breach On French Nuclear Submarines
SHARE

Paris, France:

French nuclear submarine officers and crew unintentionally exposed their location and patrol schedule by using a fitness app to record their runs and jogs. The Strava app, popular for tracking fitness activities, inadvertently disclosed sensitive data to Moscow, jeopardizing the secrecy of the submarine’s operations.

The incident occurred at the Ile Longue submarine base in Brest Harbour, home to four French nuclear submarines armed with powerful missiles. The base, a top-secret military zone, maintains strict security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

The submarines, known as ‘black boats’, have been on continuous patrol since 1972, following a doctrine of ‘permanence at sea’ to ensure rapid response capabilities for nuclear attacks.

Despite stringent security protocols at the base, the use of smartwatches with fitness apps allowed for the inadvertent leak of classified information. The breach was discovered after an investigation revealed hundreds of Strava users from the French military were active at the base.

Reports from Daily Mail and Le Monde further exposed the lapse in security measures at the base.

Instances of officers recording their runs near the submarines’ mooring docks and discussing their activities on Strava highlighted the extent of the breach. The use of real identities and public profiles on the app raised concerns about privacy and security.

The incident not only compromised the submarine’s operational security but also raised broader concerns about the potential misuse of fitness apps to track sensitive locations and activities. The need for enhanced cybersecurity measures in military settings has become increasingly critical in the digital age.
