According to their report, the leak does not appear to be the result of a rogue insider but more likely a simple clerical mistake. The email, specifically from the Defense Travel System of the Department of Defense, was sent to the wrong email distribution list. That distribution list included civilians. The Defense Travel System deals with itineraries and expense reports for official trips. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In his command release, Marine Forces Reserves spokesman Maj.
