although i don't work for the defense industry

and sites like i think this is one of the reasons they took away our admin rights (to download certain things or programs) at work. they have even taken away our ability to access our personal email accounts. i have no issues with either of these things. i understand where they're coming from. youtubefacebook have always been blocked. we CAN access other video sites though (for the time being). i've mentioned before how very strict my company is (financial and insurance line) with their data. we can't even leave files on our desk when we're away from it for more than an hour (on our DESKS mind you. and you need a key (electronic swipe card) to enter the building AND there are cameras everywhere AND 24/7 security (at least 2 people, even when i go in at 3 am). so it's really unbelievable this happened at a business that should be far more secure than mine:

Report: Obama helicopter security breached
Pa. company says blueprints for Marine One found at Iran IP address

NBC News and msnbc.com
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.".............
