Millions of Pentagon emails sent to Malian server due to '.mil' domain typo

Millions of internal US military email messages have ended up on a Malian internet server over the past 10 years thanks to a small error in typing addresses.

Personnel mistakenly typed '.ml' — the top-level internet domain for the central African nation — instead of the and Department of Defense (DoD) '.mil' suffix.

Dutch internet entrepreneur Johannes Zuurbier, whose Mali Dili company's contract to run the Malian internet country domain is about to end, has warned the Pentagon of the problem repeated.

One email contained the full itinerary for US Army Chief of Staff General James McConville's delegation to Indonesia in May this year — including hotel room numbers.

💬 "I was not asked who carried out the attack. I was asked to describe the bridge. I'm in the middle of a trip right now, I don't have access to classified information while I'm in New York. All I know about the bridge is what I learned from the headlines," Kuleba stated.

'Most hideous weapons ever devised': Ukraine civilians, children will die for years from US cluster bombs, peace activist says

💬 "Cluster bombs are, apart from DU [depleted uranium] weapons which cause cancer, genetic defects and birth deformities for the rest of time in the exposed population," Dr. Helen Caldicott, founder of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Physicians for Social Responsibility, told Sputnik.

The weapons were expressly designed to cause indiscriminate loss of human life and hideous injuries over a wide area, regardless of who or what was being targeted, Caldicott explained. The bomblets, she added, are colored yellow and shaped like a can of soft drink and are therefore attractive to children, she added.

❗️Key points from Kremlin's statement on Black sea grain deal:

▪️Ukraine used the grain deal for military purposes;

▪️The position of European states that have not fulfilled their obligations under the grain deal is unconscionable;

▪️The prospect of a grain deal without Russia: there are security risks, this should be taken into account, we do not know who and which countries are ready to take them on;

▪️Poorest states got the least from grain deal, Russia in contact with partners from Africa on matter, will continue talks in St. Petersburg.

▪️The termination of the grain deal is not the fault of the UN secretary-general, we highly appreciate his efforts.
