obama marine one Obamas Helicopter Breached by Iran via P2P

A disturbing story is surfacing this afternoon regarding Marine One, President Barack Obama's helicopter.

An internet security company has determined that Iran used a security breach to obtain engineering and communications information about Obama's chopper, according to a report by an NBC affiliate in Pittsburgh.

Tiversa, a internet firm in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, has found a security hole that led to the transfer of key military information to an IP address located in Iran.

The company's CEO, Bob Boback, said that Tiversa located a file that contained the entire blueprints and avionics package for Marine One.

"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.

He said that he believes the files were probably accessed via a peer-to-peer file-sharing network such as LimeWire, then compromised.
