☆ A Pacific Island With Ties to Taiwan Was Hacked. Was It Political?

This year, Washington finalized a long-delayed plan to give Palau hundreds of millions of dollars in aid over two decades. Hours before diplomats gathered at the U.S. Embassy in Palau to toast the agreement, the island nation was hit by an enormous cyberattack. And there were hundreds of documents detailing the close relationship between Palau and Taiwan. Palau is one of the few countries in the world that recognize Taiwan as an independent democracy. Beijing has enticed other countries, like Nauru, another Pacific nation, to sever ties with Taipei.

☆ The Two-Decade Fight for Two Letters on the Internet

The South Pacific island of Niue is one the most remote places in the world. The advent of the internet promised, in a small way, to make Niue and its 2,000 or so residents more connected to the rest of the world. In the late 1990s, an American businessman offered to hook up the island to the internet. All he wanted in exchange was the right to control the .nu suffix that Niue was assigned for its web addresses. “Nu” means now in Swedish, Danish and Dutch, and thousands of Scandinavians registered websites with that suffix, creating a steady business for Niue’s business partner, Bill Semich.
