UK accidentally sent military emails meant for US to Russian ally

Thats not true. The US leased the ml domain from Mali, and captured all there errant emails going there.

First of all, it was a private company that had a 10 year contract with the Mali government. Socond, it expired on July 17 and Mali is now back in control of them. So in this case Mali government actually have acess to these emails now.

And that company was Dutch. From what I remember, the US military was not very responsive to the news that this company had tracked thousands of emails that were supposed to go to .mil addresses.

That’s just unbelievably stupid. Why are they typing in email addresses by hand in the first place? You copy and paste.

How do you copy and paste over the phone?

Have you never used a phone before? Select the text, hold click, hit copy lol

“Over the phone” meaning voice telephony, not text.

Damn kids on my lawn.

Lots of people.

Probably depends on the phone OS, but it’s not exactly a challenge. You hold two fingers down on what you’ve selected on iOS.

"Over the phone" means a phone call.

I'm with the other person here, you young'uns are gonna make me start yelling at clouds.
