Millions of US military emails have been mistakenly sent to Mali, a Russian ally, because of a minor typing error.
Emails intended for the US military's ".mil" domain have, for years, been sent to the west African country which ends with the ".ml" suffix.
Some of the emails reportedly contained sensitive information such as passwords, medical records and the itineraries of top officers.
The Pentagon said it had taken steps to address the issue.

I said it once I will say it again! My proposal to DISA regarding replacing all .mil accounts with .xxx should have gone through! Everyone knows that anything hush hush is marked with X's!

Sigh, I miss the old days of Whitehouse. Com taking us to the real president Clinton endorsed website!
