Pentagon letters are mistakenly sent to another's address: they can be obtained by Russian special services

The owner of the ML domain (denotes the pro -Russian state of small state) is already tired of warning about random data leaks - the military from him is waving. In fact, no one specifically engages in espionage and does not suit the origins. The problem in the usual printing error: employees often confuse the domain of e -mail addresses and instead of . mil (US Army Domain) is simply gaining . ml (small domain).

It would seem that the problem can be corrected somehow, at least by redefining the domain to another, but the Pentagon has been in the past 10 years that nothing is happening. Currently, the owner of the . ML domain is businessman Johannes Zunurbier, director of the Amsterdam company Mali Dili. He has repeatedly addressed this issue for 10 years in a row, in particular through military attaché in Mali, Senior Advisor to the US Biber Security Service and even through the White House.

Each time, the businessman is carefully listened to and promised to "study and solve the problem" carefully, but the situation does not change. According to Johannes Zuburbier to reporters, he received more than a million different letters sent through a printing mistake. Although there are mostly no secret information among them, "sensitive data" or information that is not widely publicized.

For example, Johannes Zuburbier received X -rays and medical data among mistakes sent; information on identity documents; Lists of ships of ships; Lists of staff on the bases; maps of objects; Photos of bases; reports of naval inspections; contracts; criminal complaints against staff; internal abuse investigations; routes of official trips; Tax and financial statements.

Yes, this is a "secret" without a stamp, but as Mike Rogers said, a retired American Admiral that previously managed the National Security Agency and the US Army Cyber ​​Command: "If you have such permanent access to general information, you can easily make up The overall picture and get what you will not even get from secret data. " The greatest danger, according to Johannes Zurbier, is that on Monday, July 17, control of the .

ML domain, according to the terms of the treaty, will move from Zuburbier to the Mali government, closely related to Russia. And here, if the origins do not stop, all sensitive data can be very easy to get into Russian special services.

At the request of the journalists, a Pentagon representative Lieutenant Tim Gorman said that the Ministry of Defense was "aware of this problem and is seriously referred to all unauthorized disclosures of controlled information of national security or controlled non-serious information. " He said that emails sent directly from the . Mil domain to Mali addresses .
