Common typo causes millions of emails intended for members of the US military to be compromised.

Nope nothing to do with Hilary or any 1 person directly this time,


Here's the short of it: The emails were intended for owners of “.MIL” email accounts – the internet domain owned by the US military – but because of typos they were instead sent to the .ML domain, which handles email accounts in the West African country of Mali.

"One of the misdirected emails contained hotel room numbers for the Army chief of staff, Gen. James McConville, and his entourage on a trip they took in May to Indonesia."

"And while the US government can’t prevent outside users from mistyping emails intended for the government, some of those making the typos were US government employees.

One email in Zuurbier’s stash is from an FBI agent and intended for a US Navy official, asking for personal information to process a Navy visitor to an FBI facility. The FBI agent uses the .ml domain."

For the past 10 yrs there is a contractor that was managing Mali's email domains......he turned over proof to the US government early on but ...... nothing changed.....his contract expired last week which is why he is running to the media...

This country's gov't has a history of not listening to early warnings before shit goes sideways.

Nah B, this isn't about political parties, you gotta think the past 10 yrs has seen both parties in office and in command of the military.....

This is systematic and endemic to the foundational issues this country has......


Senior military leadership's travel itineraries were sent to that address......


Also, THAT CONTRACTOR NO LONGRR HAS ACCESS TO THE DOMAIN......


All those emails are still there. I think he was hoping senior US leadership would say something, aye let's work with the Mali government on getting all of those deleted....etc
