A company that monitors P2P networks says it found details about the president's helicopter, Marine One, on a computer in Tehran.

Bob Boback, CEO of Tiversa, said, "We found a file containing 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.

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, an adviser to Tiversa, added:

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.

It's no accident the information wound up in Iran, the company said. Countries like Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Qatar and China are "actively searching for information that is disclosed in this fashion because it is a great source of intelligence," Boback said.

Rep. Jason Altmire said he will ask Congress to investigate the risk to national security of this sort of exposure.
