In an apparent error, North Korea accidentally opened access to every website hosted on its servers, revealing that it only has 28 registered domains.
North Korea’s “.kp” nameserver was apparently misconfigured, according to researcher, Matthew Bryant, who said he could access the domain names and data about the websites. He dumped his findings on Github, a site that hosts code. A Reddit page was also created, which includes a list and description of the websites.
According to Verisign, approximately 149.9 million websites have country codes, such as “.us” for the United States, “.mx” for Mexico, or “.in” for India.
As of Thursday, many of the websites had apparently gone down.
