The latest ransomware attack affects more than 28,000 databases on MongoDB servers. The root cause is a combination of malicious attacks designed to steal and ransom data. Attackers were only able to gain access because database admins were running servers without a password. Theres little evidence that any of the supposedly stolen data has been properly exfiltrated. This means that if users pay the ransom, their digital property may still be gone for good. So far, they’ve managed to compromise 25 percent of the entire MongoDB ecosystem.”]
