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

      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.
