Typo Sends Millions of US Military Emails to Mali

By Sandy Fitzgerald

Over the years, millions of emails intended for the U.S. military have instead gone to the West African country of Mali, an ally of Russia, because of a minor typing error that changes the emails’ domain name.
Emails that have been intended to head to the military’s “.mil” domain have gone to Mali, whose country’s email ends with the “.ml” suffix, for more than 10 years, with some of the messages containing sensitive information like medical records, passwords, and top officers’ itineraries, reports the BBC.

The Pentagon has said it has taken steps to address the issue, but Dutch internet entrepreneur Johannes Zuurbier identified the problem more than 10 years ago, according to The Financial Times, which first reported the story.

Newsmax

Nothing classified, just personal information data miners can only dream of including tax returns, medical records, passwords, etc. DOD obviously had other priorities in 2013 when this was discovered. Those priorities were assigned by the which administration?

Thanks, folks.
