Oof. Also what a bizarre landscape where this comes out in 2021 and the only action on it is a private corporation personally suing them over a year later. Where's ENISA and EC3?
There is also the recent news about how millions of US Military emails (.mil) were sent to Malia instead (.ml).
That's got to be fake news or satire, right? Right?
Like, how is it even possible to send to .ml instead of .mil? 'i' and 'l' are not even close enough to fat-finger it on most keyboards, and even if you did, it wouls have to be by using the same finger for both 'i' and 'l', which means you'd physically register the double tap.
Nope, here’s an article from CNN about it: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/17/politics/email-typos-mali-military-emails/index.html
Well, and here I was thinking that the next Wikileaks news package / Snowden Style hero would actually need to make some effort...
The US never ceases to amaze me how retrograde it can be as a country.
Yikes...
