I can't see how that's the fault of MongoDB - all you need is fire some DB admins around the word...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

If they're using Mongo they probably already fired all DB Admins. And that's the root of the problem.

I remember back in the dark ages a similar story about how many Oracle systems still had scott/tiger enabled with admin rights. It is the same thing with MongoDb, I like Mongo and I use it, but if you are such a numpty as to put your DB on da webs and not tie down access to it then you deserve every piece of data that gets stolen.

Sadly though, it is our data which is likely to be stolen.

There's an awesome Defcon talk on this called Massscanning the Internet[^].
Basically if you know the port a particular service runs on, you can use a tool called MasScan[^] to scan the entire internet for it in ten minutes (if your internet is fast enough). Then write a script to loop through each result and try and login with default credentials and bam! Security Alert!

As agile practices, Continuous Integration and other new methodologies come into development environments, organizations have come to realize they need to change the way they test software. They only test in sprints until they find three bugs

The only way to stop finding bugs is to stop looking.

There's no right answer to "What technology should I learn next?" But there is a way to manage your skills to maximize the return you get from them. I don't have a skills portfolio, it's more like a skills junk drawer

According to Nature, scientists are honing in on methods to reassemble scattered light that passes through opaque objects to create a usable image on the other side, Superman-style. Does it involve cardboard glasses?

This must be some new definition of "opaque" that I wasn't previously aware of.

I tell you that with less than 40 keV of X-Ray you'd hardly pass through an olive, only to see a gray stain on the other side.
No supaman style X-Ray vision I guess... since there's no way it could work anyway, with the generator and the detector on the same side you discard at least 90% of the radiation, and the remaining 10% must travel twice the distance between generator and object further reducing the power of the x-rays received by a factor of 4.

That does not matter.
What matters is that someone thinks it is innovative, sexy and worth the investment. There's more money on the planet than common sense.

I TOTALLY agree with you.
Also, the path of research is a twisted one - you may end up discovering (or creating) something of the uttermost importance in the task of searching for something completely different.
In this case for example the research could lead to better or cheaper X-ray scintillators, which is something needed in the XR detection industry.
