US Uses Submarines as Portable Hacking Platforms

This may come as a surprise to some, but the US has special submarines that it uses to hack into strategic targets, may it be underwater communications cables or the infrastructure of other nations.

This piece of information is not necessarily new since the media had reported on it in 2015 when it was revealed that USS Annapolis is one of the Navy's special submarines that has cyber-offensive capabilities.

According to documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the Annapolis is a computer network exploitation (CNE) toolkit, a portable hacking platform that spies on any designated target, may it be another country's military troops, its infrastructure, or underwater communications cables.
