Air Force Emails Sensitive Information to Tourism Site

Khuffie writes "The US Air Force has been sending sensitive information, including flight plans for Air Force One, to a website promoting the town of Mildenhall in Suffolk. When told of the error by the site's owner, the Air Force did not attempt to fix it at first. When reminded at a later time, instead of fixing the issue, they advised the owner to 'block unrecognizable addresses from his domain and have an auto-reply sent reminding people of the official Mildenhall domain and blocked his website from access on base.'"

Why is this modded -1?

The poster asked a very legitimate question that points out the real issue here, namely that people are addressing their mildenhall.af.gov mail to mildenhall.com.

Thanks for your insightful post, and if I hadn't already commented on this thread I'd mod you up.

I would celebrate. That child in a grown man's body has done more to destroy this country than a million "nucular"-armed "terrorists" parachuting all over the US could ever hope to do. Did you hear me? I would fucking raise a toast. I would shoot off fireworks. It would be a second god-damned independence day.
