NYT Article HERE (paywall ) describing modern version of Blackbeard. Oil tankers not just turning off their AIS to avoid detection, but apparently transponding fake locations. While some of the ships are moving oil from Russia to China and not subject to western sanctions, the insurance companies covering the ships are western companies and thus prevented from covering them. NYT alerted the insurance company to the fake location - they were previously unaware.
Interesting technology to spoof location of a ship, not just a cheating spouse. Wonder where this goes????
