North Korea only has 28 websites, according to leak of official data

Apparent error by a regime tech worker gave the world a rare glimpse into the few online sources of information available

The internet is awash with news and comment about North Korea, from its nuclear tests to speculation about the health of its leader, Kim Jong-un. But its own contribution to the world wide web is tiny, according to a leak that revealed the country has just 28 registered domains.

The revelation came after one of North Korea's top-level nameservers was incorrectly configured to reveal a list of all the domain names under the domain .kp.
