North Korea accidentally allows world to access its entire internet

Too much choice may be a bad thing at times, but evidently that's not a problem for North Korea's internet users.

Thanks to (presumably) a higher-up in the country making a horrible mistake, the e-sleuths at GitHub were able to access information on all the websites hosted on the reclusive dictatorship's servers. All in all, it seems residents of North Korea lucky enough to gain internet access have only 28 websites to choose from.

GitHub, a source-code hosting site, explained this week: "One of North Korea's top level name servers was accidentally configured to allow global [Domain Name System] transfers. This allows anyone who performs [a zone transfer request] to the country's ns2.kptc.kp name server to get a copy of the nation's top level DNS data.”
