Highly doubtful much of anything majorly sensitive got leaked. Firstly even unclassified DoD emails are encrypted by default. Secondly anything classified isn’t even on a network that can talk to normal email, it’s either 100% point to point encrypted or on an airgapped network. If I hopped on SIPR (DoD Secret-level internet) and emailed a normal email address it simply wouldn’t work.
That doesn’t stop somebody from being an idiot and mentioning something classified in clearnet communications. Never underestimate the power of stupidity.
Ehhhhh, you’re missing the human element. Humans do dumb shit all the time. You can’t stop someone from reading something with their eyeballs, remembering it in their meat brain, and using their sausage fingers to type it back into something unsecured. Odds are still low of course, but I wouldn’t be so confident.
Using .ml was stupid in the first place. No need to try to be a special snowflake by using a sketchy TLD.
It’s one of the 5 TLD (now 4 I guess) that are free. The others being .tk, .ga, .cf and .gq
We need free TLDs.
I’m aware. Using it for something like this is stupid.
wow I didn’t even know that was a thing! This is useful to know, thanks :D
But- But- But the memes of a Marxist-Leninist instance!!1!
Commies punching the air right now
They should check if .cia is open if they’re want to switch over to something more fitting.
I wonder if it was done on purpose after it came out that the Pentagon had typo’d “.ml” instead of ‘.mil’ and exposed a lot of sensitive emails…

You highly overestimate the US army.
Reminder that the most recent leak was done by a guy who just wanted to be right on Discord.
Yeah but that was intentional stupidity. Regular typos are covered fairly well.
