Miami, FL (AHN) - Sensitive information regarding President Obama's Marine One helicopter was found at an IP address in Tehran, Iran by a company that monitors peer-to-peer file-sharing networks.
The potentially-serious security breach was found by Tiversa, an Internet security company from Cranberry Township, Pa. The employees found a file sharing program that contained highly sensitive blueprints for Marine One and financial information about the costs of the helicopter, WPXI, an NBC affiliate in Pittsburgh, Pa. reported.
Tiversa CEO Bob Boback said the breach was most likely the result of a defense contractor in Bethesda, Md. downloading the file-sharing program without realizing the potential consequences.
Boback said he believes the files were likely transferred using a peer-to-peer file-sharing network, like LimeWire or BearShare, and then compromised by someone in Tehran. Once these programs are downloaded, Boback said, hard drives are vulnerable.
Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, and adviser to Tiversa, said the company knows exactly what computer the breach came from, and the person who works at that machine will likely be fired.
Guess Zero will have to get a new chopper after all.
the person who works at that machine will likely be fired.
Should be shot and tried for treason
With a wink and kiss. The front door opens with the obvious key.
Just stunning.
He's probably the one who leaked the information, and his Iranian friends were more than willing to help. What are friends for?
Keep ignoring Bush policies on defense, you meatheads...

Democratic Lawmaker Vouches for Bush Administration’s Secret Plan to End Cyber War
By Kevin Poulsen April 02, 2008
You’d think by this point House Democrats would be a little leery when the Bush administration comes up a new threat that it says can only be combated by a secret, warrantless NSA surveillance program requiring assistance from the private sector.
But it’s official: TCP is the new WMD, and at least one prominent Democratic lawmaker is now eager to help the intelligence community prevent Cybarmageddon.
“Guess Zero will have to get a new chopper after all”....
Just give him Supermans flying suit.....
Wouldn’t be the first time one of his own was involved in a security breach. John Brennan ran the company that breached the passport files of Zero, Clinton, and McCain.
The strangest things in life are when you are given everything, the info, the facts, the time and place, the damm keys and the ammunition and STILL....they cannot connect the dots!
He's the Messiah. Levitation should come natural to him. Why would he need a suit or a mechanical device?
Shades of all the “glitches” the Clinton mob experienced regarding top secret national security handovers to the Chicoms.
Good point. It could be Obomas gift to Iran.
My company does government work, including DOD. We have lots of restrictions about what we can put on our computers including p2p programs.
Thats harsh punishment.
Iran is not a threat according to the president and other democrats.
Some idiot installed a file-sharing program on the same computer with that information? WTF??
Should not be shot and commended for patriotic act bey selling the “enemy” BHO’s Marine One chopper schematics.
Let Ahmadinenutjob’s agents eliminate the Zero once and for all, then we’ll do the same to the Iranian.
