Pittsburgh TV station WPXI reported Monday that Lockheed was not 

responsible for the security breach last week. Tiversa, a 

Pittsburgh-area company that monitors peer-to-peer file-sharing 

networks, said it discovered a file containing entire blueprints, costs 

and other information about Marine One at an IP address in Tehran, Iran.

from the computer.



"We found where this information came from," Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, 

an adviser to Tiversa, told WPXI. "We know exactly what computer it came

but we know where it came from and we know where it went."
