Despite repeated warnings over a decade, a steady flow of email traffic continues to the .ML domain, the country identifier for Mali, as a result of people mistyping .MIL, the suffix to all US military email addresses.The problem was first identified almost a decade ago by Johannes Zuurbier, a Dutch Internet entrepreneur who has a contract to manage Mali’s country domain.
Zuurbier has been collecting misdirected emails since January in an effort to persuade the US to take the issue seriously. He holds close to 117,000 misdirected messages—almost 1,000 arrived on Wednesday alone. In a letter he sent to the US in early July, Zuurbier wrote: “This risk is real and could be exploited by adversaries of the US.”
Funniest part of the story. They're reporting this one instance, but they have been doing this consistently FOR A DECADE.

It would all come entirely from the unclassified network. The Secret and Top Secret networks won't send outside of themselves.

hahaha your fricking VP or whatever she was Hilldog literally ran an unsecured private mailserver

Several private companies, such as Apple, Amazon, and Google, offer private classified government expansions. And it's totally legal.
What happened with Hilldog is that she mostly generated classified information by aggregating disparate pieces of unclassified information into single sources.

Yep. For certain people and certain events, if you aggregate name, time, and place it can instantly aggregate to Secret. That was the most of what Hilldog did, classification by aggregation.

This morning, Cum went to the park. I went with Coom. And Cum brought Coomer frisbee. At least I think it was Coomers. By the end of the day, Cum started throwing the frisbee to Cumself.
