North Korea has accidentally “leaked” all 28 of its .kp domains, allowing foreigners an unprecedented insight into the government-run websites of the notoriously secretive country.Foreigners can gain access to the .kp domains as a result of North Korea accidentally allowing the pages to be accessed outside the country, with information including links and zone files being published to Github after this change had been discovered. The individual who posted the information on Github wrote: “On Sept 20, 2016 at approximately 10:00PM, one of North Korea’s top level nameservers was accidentally configured to allow global DNS zone transfers. This allows anyone who performs an AXFR (zone transfer) request to the country’s ns2.kptc.kp nameserver can get a copy of the nation’s top level DNS data … This data gives us a better picture of North Korea’s domains and top level DNS.”
When a list of North Korea's available websites was posted on Reddit , the surge of visitors to the reclusive state's online offering overloaded the servers.North Korea runs a completely locked-down version of the internet that consists of only 28 "websites" that the population is allowed to view.The tightly-controlled content is yet another way for Kim Jong-Un's government to govern the flow of information inside its borders.However, a technical slip-up allowed experts at GitHub to work their way into the country's computer network and view the websites from the outside.
