MIT Technology Review Narrated: How a tiny Pacific Island became the global capital of cybercrime
Tokelau is a group of three isolated atolls strung out across the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and Hawaii.
Despite its size, Tokelau has become an internet giant. Until recently, its .tk domain had more users than any other country’s: a staggering 25 million. Yet only one website with a .tk domain is actually from Tokelau. Nearly all the others are used by spammers, phishers, and cybercriminals.
This is the story of how Tokelau unwittingly became the global capital of cybercrime—and its fight to fix its reputation.
This is our latest story to be turned into a MIT Technology Review Narrated podcast. In partnership with News Over Audio, we’ll be making a selection of our stories available, each one read by a professional voice actor. You’ll be able to listen to them on the go or download them to listen to offline.
We’re publishing a new story each week on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, including some taken from our most recent print magazine.
