A total of 595.2 terabytes (TB) of data is exposed on the internet via publicly accessible MongoDB instances that don't require any form of authentication. NoSecurity?

The problem with new technology is that there typically isn't a lot of documentation on how to properly implement. Though surprised, I probably shouldn't be. I tend to let new technologies mature; so I don't waste time learning or worse, have security problems that will affect my users.

Just to understand better the English language...
- "A total of 595.2 terabytes (TB) of data is exposed on the internet ..."
Shouldn't be "ARE exposed"? Isn't that "(many) data" and not just a "(single) datum"?
Again, isn't that "the Internet" requires the capital letter?
Thanks from a hopeless user trying to communicate with the rest of the world...

You are correct. However, since the corruption of the English language in the last century, "data" has been taken by many to be singular (e.g. the data is, rather than the data are).
I don't like it, but I also don't feel like fighting all the people who use incorrect English 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Historically, you would be correct, but in modern usage data is typically used as both singular and plural, and the usage "data is" is more common.

No. Most folks get this wrong, but in proper English you'd use "are" if you're referring to multiples of something and "is" for a singular. And while it is more than one TB, it's referring to the size as a whole single unit.
For instance...
A herd of sheep is flocking.
Twenty sheep are flocking.
Both refer to the fact there is more than one sheep, but the former is doing so as a whole, which is singular in nature.

Well, thanks (everybody) for the explanations.
Your last example makes sense: is the same in Italian. However, I think that's because the "is" actually refers to the "herd", which is one.
What's different is the "data" usage. In Italian it is almost non sense talking about a "single" data, unless we're explicitly referring to a specific part of the bunch. Generally speaking, the context refers to "many" data, especially when they sum hundreds of TB!
Thanks again!

You got it right.
It's a bit of a gray area I'd wager, but data refers to a whole, much like water. You don't say you have 4 liters of waters, it's 4 liters of water. Water is the whole and liter a measurement. Which means the water is one and the measurement is plural - just like with the word herd. And just like with data, whereas TB is just a measurement.
So for instance...
Liters of water are hard to measure in that glass.
The water is hard to measure in liters in that glass.
We're talking about the same thing, just one focuses on the measurement (like a TB) and one focuses on the collective whole (just like with data).

I don't know. I had to fight for my life to get a legacy web forms application with the first release of AjaxToolkit to work with IPad. It needs to work for browsers from IE6-IE11, FF, Chrome, and Safari.
It doesn't seem feasible to continually upgrade software, but to me, that is why it sucks!
