"content": "Millions of military emails have been accidentally directed to Mali due to a 'typo', exposing highly sensitive information - despite repeated warnings for the last decade.<br /><br />Instead of typing .MIL, the suffix to all US military email addresses, people typed in .ML, which is the country identifier for Mali. This resulted in a steady flow of sensitive email traffic being sent to Mali, the Financial Times reports.<br /><br />One misdirected email included travel plans for General James McConville, the chief of staff of the army.<br /><br />It included a full list of room numbers for him and 20 others, the General's itinerary as well as details how to collect his key at the Grand Hyatt in Jakarta for a then-upcoming trip to Indonesia in May.<br /><br />About ten years ago, a Dutch internet entrepreneur called Johannes Zuurbier first identified this problem.<br /><br />Zuurbier, who has a contract to manage Mali's country domain, has reportedly also been collecting misdirected emails - nearly 117,00 of them - since January in order to show the government the seriousness of the issue.<br /><br />He sent a letter to the government earlier this month, saying: 'This risk is real and could be exploited by adversaries of the US.'<br /><br />Mali's government - which has close ties to Russia - gains control of the .ML domain and therefore the misdirected emails today after Zuurbier's ten-year management contract ran out. <br /><br />Zuurbier said he approached several government officials like a defence attache in Mali, a senior adviser to the US national cyber security service as well as some White House officials. <br /><br />He took over control of the Mali domain in 2013 and quickly noticed many requests for domains like army.ml and navy.ml coming in, which he suspected were for emails. <br /><br />The system he set up to catch any correspondence like that was soon overwhelmed and stopped collecting messages. <br /><br />Zuurbier said he got legal advice and repeatedly tried to alert the government -

"content": "Millions of military emails have been accidentally directed to Mali due to a 'typo', exposing highly sensitive information - despite repeated warnings for the last decade.\n\nInstead of typing .MIL, the suffix to all US military email addresses, people typed in .ML, which is the country identifier for Mali.
