Things that you wish you didn't know

Holy Living Fuck.

Report: Obama helicopter security breached

A company that monitors peer-to-peer file-sharing networks has discovered a potentially serious security breach involving President Barack Obama's helicopter, NBC affiliate WPXI in Pittsburgh reported Saturday.

Employees of Tiversa, a Cranberry Township, Pa.-based security company that specializes in peer-to-peer technology, reportedly found engineering and communications information about Marine One at an IP address in Tehran, Iran.

Bob Boback, CEO of Tiversa, told WPXI-TV: "We found a file containing entire blueprints and avionics package for Marine One, which is the president's helicopter."

The reason this information got into unfriendly hands? A computer of a defense contractor containing the sensitive data on the helicopter that carries The President of the United States had a p2p program installed on it.

Sounds like an RIAA scare story, but this one was real!
