These hackers say they stole lots of secret information, like the special computer code that makes the submarines work.

This company, called Naval Group, builds submarines for countries like India.

The hackers are saying they have this secret code, which could let them understand how the submarines work, find weaknesses, or even cause problems.

The company is checking if the hackers are telling the truth and working with the government.
