The Australian newspaper published 22,400 documents containing sensitive information on the technical capabilities of six Scorpene submarines being built at a shipyard in Mumbai, India. A DCNS spokeswoman described the leak as potential corporate espionage that could affect the companys contracts with other governments. The Australian has not said how, where, or from whom it received the documents. The incident raises serious questions about the security of a $38 billion submarine project that the DCNS is currently negotiating with the Australian government.”]
