Hackers on the prowl for unsecured databases found a publicly accessible MongoDB instance and replaced the almost 1.2 million sensitive records it stored with a ransom note. NoSQL, NoSecurity

To be fair, the fault in this case seems to be nothing to do with MongoDB. If I left SQL Server unsecured on a public facing network. I suspect it would be compromised pretty quickly too.

You are right, the issue is between the chair and the keyboard.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

True, but shouldn't the default configuration be a little safer, rather than completely open?

MongoDB is just a pawn in the game of data storage.

I wonder how "triggered" today's snowflakes would be if forced to watch that movie and what would offend them the most?

"Nobody move, or..."
Betcha.
They're not snowflakes, though; they're wankers who want to force their way of life on others.
Every political affiliation and religion has plenty of them within their membership; they're just too stupid to realise that not everyone can believe or want exactly the same things that they do.
"Live and let live" is probably the second-best advice that was ever given to anyone by anyone.
* The best advice ever given being "Don't cancel Firefly, you bloody morons!"

Project Zero is the terrifying security research team infamous for three things: discovering the worst vulnerabilities out there, finding a new vulnerability every day, and giving companies only 90 days to find a fix before a full public reveal. Nice internet you have there, shame if something were to happen to it...

It’s remarkable to remember that Unix’s pipe command was implemented in a single day, representing not only a great moment in computing history, but also a uniquely important moment for its profound impact on the culture of Unix. One thing lead to another

Class-action lawsuit filed in California against Capital One... and GitHub??? Why not also sue the company that made the computer used?

Too often, the legal system in most countries proves again and again that they are illiterate when it comes to technology. What a waste of tax-payers money.

Even if it were documented on GitHub, the case won't stand up in court.
Even the least tech-savvy know that no-one reads the documentation.

Can we use our own icons? They seem to think that is very important so I certainly hope I can.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

I just Love the way that they've partially restored this functionality for devs (presumably because of incessant complaints from their own devs), but winio and ms office users can still go to Hell, as far as they're concerned (despite incessant complaints from the people who pay to keep their company alive).

In a Visual Studio status meeting...
Participant: "Hey! I have an idea! Let's ignore the real problems in Visual Studio, and spend our time working on sh*t that doesn't actually HELP the developer!"
Guy in charge: "That's f*ckin BRILLIANT!..... Mind!Blown!"
Another participant: "Does this mean the focus is FINALLY off the icon team?"
At this point, everyone felt sorry for the icon team, but were afraid to say anything. Life sure is tough when your entire world exists within a 32-pixel square...

All you need is a web browser and a decent internet connection. You don’t even need to own a copy of the game to have some fun, but it’ll be even more fun if you do. "Fresh meat!"
Yay, webassembly
