PITTSBURGH -- Target 11 has learned a Cranberry company that monitors peer-to-peer file-sharing networks discovered what it said is a potentially serious security breach involving President Barack Obama’s helicopter.
Tiversa employees found engineering and communications information about Marine One at an IP address in Tehran, Iran.
Bob Boback, CEO of Tiversa, said, ”We found a file containing entire blueprints and avionics package for Marine One,which is the president's helicopter."
The company was able to trace the file back to its original source.
"What appears to be a defense contractor in Bethesda, MD had a file sharing program on one of their systems that also contained highly sensitive blueprints for Marine One," Boback said.
Tiversa also found sensitive financial information about the cost of the helicopter on that same computer.
Boback said someone from the company most likely downloaded a file-sharing program, typically used to exchange music, not realizing the potential problems.
"When downloading one of these file-sharing programs, you are effectively allowing others around the world to access your hard drive," Boback said.
Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, an adviser to Tiversa, said, "We found where this information came from. We know exactly what computer it came from. I'm sure that person is embarrassed and may even lose their job, but we know where it came from and we know where it went."
Boback notified the government immediately and said appropriate steps are being taken.
“They are working through a process to maintain the security of the president,” Boback said.
Iran is not the only country that appears to be accessing this type of information through file-sharing programs.
“We've noticed it out of Pakistan, Yemen, Qatar, and China. They are actively searching for information that is disclosed in this fashion because it is a great source of intelligence,” Boback said.

Anyone connected with Wesley Clark is suspect in general.
I can appreciate the sentiment; but if he isn’t removed for being an enemy combatant, then all the damage he has done to date stays in place.
We need him removed to null and void all the damge he has done.
Agreed.
This is a thought conditioning piece for the coming false flag attack.
You've got Al Haig syndrome. Presidential succession is:
VP, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, Secretary of State, etc. ...
So how much does it cost, and how much do we taxpayers get charged for it???
It's plain to see. Nobody is in charge.
Same here
Nope. Don’t think so. Sorry.
Indeed, both Iran and Obambi seem to share similar goals - the destruction of America.
