Just having a mobile phone in there is - or should be - a violation of TEMPEST protocols.

The VSS comprises 220 cameras covering the entire ship - to allow monitoring of engine and machinery spaces, external catwalk, aircraft hangars, ship entrances and access to classified areas

Any official transfer of the video to higher HQ immediately after the accident would almost certainly have been by e-mailing the relevant file - there would be no need to use a phone to make a low resolution copy for authorized official use.
The person who first posted the video on Twitter - credited by multiple on-line aviation magazines and cable / TV outlets - claimed he received it via WhatsApp from a civilian.
So there is little doubt that there is a lot of work to do in tightening up physical and cyber security on board.
Yeah, it being 2021 and all it was probs an Officer. Yeet him off that boat, homs.
