#1 Why the fuck would you use your .mil or .gov email for this?

And why the fuck isn't that traffic flagged in the filter?

Two major fucking failures right there.

#2 For the same reason the Chinese, Russians, North Koreans, and pimply-faced basement dwellers end up with just about anything they want from government payrolls to plans for the F-35: They think it's secure.

#3 Why the fuck would you use your .mil or .gov email for this?

#8 @#3

TW that is why you use a disposable and throw away email address.
