Millions of secret US military emails accidentally leaked to Mali because of a typo

Millions of United States military emails, some of which contain highly sensitive information, have been accidentally sent to Mali because of a common typo.

Defence email addresses have the suffix .mil, but people have been mistyping it as .ml, the country identifier for Mali.

Misdirected emails include those containing diplomatic documents, tax returns, passwords and travel details of top officers.
