Marine One material traced back to Iran

You don't say...

Marine 1 Blueprints Found On File Sharing Network - News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh

Tiversa employees found engineering and communications information about Marine One at an IP address in Tehran, Iran.”We found a file containing entire blueprints and avionics package for Marine One, which is the president's helicopter," said Bob Boback, CEO of Tiversa.

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.
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.
