Avast, ye scurvy dogs! A silly blunder hath led to countless missives of America's military secrets sailin' in the wrong direction, landin' in the arms of Mali, a matey of Russia. By mistakenly typin' .ML instead of .MIL, all them emails be findin' their way to Mali's domain. Johannes Zuurbier, a Dutch mate in charge of Mali's domain, spied this mishap almost a decade ago. He be chasin' after it ever since...
Ahoy mateys! Gather round and ye shall hear a tale that will shiver yer timbers! A mighty typo has led the U.S. military to send their precious emails to the wrong place, straight into the hands of a close pal o' Russia, Mali! Arrr, seems like those landlubbers be mistakenly enterin' .ML instead of .MIL at the end o' their email addresses. Aye, ye heard it right! Millions of these confidential messages be sailin' off to Mali's domain like they be treasures on a stolen ship.Now, me hearties, ye might be wonderin' how this snafu escaped the sharp eyes of the U.S. military. Well, a Dutch scallywag named Johannes Zuurbier, who be in charge o' managin' Mali's country domain, spotted this blunder almost a decade ago. He be tellin' the Financial Times about it, sayin' he's been seein' these emails washin' ashore in Mali for years, like messages in a bottle floatin' across the sea.
Can ye imagine the chaos this be causin', me fellow pirates? Top-secret information meant for American eyes only be landin' in the hands of the Russians' close mateys! It be like leavin' yer treasure chest wide open for any scurvy dog to plunder. Arrr, the U.S. military better start battening down the hatches and fixin' their typo pronto before things be gettin' even worse.
So ye see, me hearties, even the toughest and mightiest sailors can make a foolish mistake. It be a lesson to us all, that even in this modern age, a simple typo can set off a storm that no ship can weather. Let's hope those military folks be fixing their mistake soon, me fellow buccaneers, or else the sea of sensitive information might just swallow 'em whole!
