Confidential US Air Force (USAF) e-mails, some including flight plans for a presidential visit, have been mistakenly sent to a tourism website.
The e-mails were meant to go to the US airbase at RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk, via its website.
But instead they went to a town tourism website which had a similar address.
Among the information “wrongly” released there are Air Force One flight plans, military procedures and tactics marked as “‘Destroy by any means to prevent capture“, etc..
It looks to me that some security has been compromised, but…
The USAF said there had been no “verified security breach” and it had advised airmen and other staff to use the correct e-mail address.
Well now we can be sure we are safe, the military secrets have been protecting just by saying to the people “use the right address dude!“, i definitely feel safer now!! So we really have military confidential information running around the web via e-mails…
