In February, a senior U.S. Defense official confirmed with Fox News that a U.S. Department of Defense server was left exposed online for two weeks, allowing internal emails to be accessed.

Fox News reported: 'A misconfiguration with a Department of Defense server hosted on Microsoft Azure's government cloud allowed the server to be accessed with a password, according to Tech Crunch, which reported that anyone with internet access could access mailbox data if they knew the server's IP address and were using a web browser.'

The leaked server contained an internal mailbox of three terabytes of military emails, with many related to the U.S. Special Operations Command, which is a military unit that conducts special operations.
