That is what made this whole .ml problem. Some people have apparently accidentally leaked American state secrets to Mali by typo.
That's a poor excuse. If something is secret or higher it has a different TLD. The SIPRnet uses .smil for example. There are also tools at the boundaries that don't allow going from SIPR to NIPR unless they meet specific criteria. Basically you can only leak those secrets accidentally if they were already on a system they shouldn't have been on.
Additionally, competent IT would make this fuck up impossible. I'm shocked that they didn't whitelist TLDs and block all others.
Classified and top are in a separate system that can't leak.
