This wouldn't surprise me in the least. Hell, they probably got them off his Blackberry.
Pittsburgh TV station WPXI is reporting the details:
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.What do you expect to happen when you entrust National Security issues to Wesley Clark and Cranberry companies? It appears the Iranians know more about the parameters of Marine One than Obama does.
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.
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."
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.
