[bitfolk] Someone seems to be wiping open MongoDB servers

4 Jan 2017

Hello,

According to:

    https://twitter.com/0xDUDE/status/813865069218037760

someone is now wiping out the contents of open MongoDB servers and
demanding payment in Bitcoins to return the data.

A good reminder to properly secure things like MongoDB by only
letting them run on localhost, and/or firewalling them off.

Open MongoDB is one of the things we nag you about but don't go any
further than nagging.

Cheers,
Andy
