Using .ml was stupid in the first place. No need to try to be a special snowflake by using a sketchy TLD.
But- But- But the memes of a Marxist-Leninist instance!!1!
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...
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.
Yeah but that was intentional stupidity. Regular typos are covered fairly well.
That doesn't stop somebody from being an idiot and mentioning something classified in clearnet communications. Never underestimate the power of stupidity.
