Typing Error Exposes Highly Sensitive US Military Emails Sent to Russian Ally Mali
Joe Biden
The leak, which came to light through a report by the Financial Times, has raised concerns over the compromised security of critical data. Diplomatic documents, tax returns, passwords, and travel itineraries of high-ranking officers were among the exposed information, posing a significant risk to national security.
The mix-up originated from an incorrect domain name usage. Instead of using the standard ".MIL" domain designated for the US military, the emails were inadvertently sent to the ".ML" domain, associated with Mali. This error involved various parties, including military staff members, US intelligence personnel, private contractors, and travel agents affiliated with the US military.
One alarming instance involved an email that disclosed the travel itinerary of General James McConville, the Chief of Staff of the US Army, during his visit to Indonesia. Such sensitive information falling into the wrong hands could potentially compromise military operations and endanger personnel.
The mistake was eventually brought to attention by Johannes Zuurbier, responsible for managing the domain for Mali. Zuurbier had repeatedly alerted the US government about this issue over the past ten years to no avail. Realizing the magnitude of the problem, he decided to take action.
Zuurbier proactively collected misdirected emails since January and has accumulated an astounding 117,000 of them, with nearly 1,000 collected in a single day. In an effort to address the ongoing domain name mix-up, he penned a letter to US officials, stressing the urgent need to rectify the situation. With his contract with the Mali government nearing its end, Zuurbier emphasized that adversaries of the US could exploit this vulnerability.
