We weren't talking about that, we were talking about having databases accessible to the public. I'm fully asware there are other attack vectors, but having your DB on a public port/machine is up there with using "p@ssword" as your password.

To be fair, it's not a hard thing to check for. Just run a portscan. If you can see the database from a different box, you fucked up and need to fix it.

The fact that not all software developers think security is their problem is what is making software worse. Security is EVERYONE'S problem.

> the attacker simply replaced all the tables with a data entry named NODATA4U_SECUREYOURSHIT. "What's strange about these attacks is that the threat actor isn't asking for a ransom demand," reports Bleeping Computer. "Instead, he's just deleting data from Hadoop servers that have left their web-based admin panel open to remote connections on the Internet." Glad to see there's still some people doing it for the lulz.

Still stupid. I have seperate passwords for all the sites/devices I own. The trick to remembering them is to have a system - so if you forget it you can work out what the system is depending on the site. Don't do something stupid like have the website name as the password though, obviously...and I can't tell you my system because then it would be compromised. Have a think though, and I'm sure you could come up with something.

I don't understand people who even save passwords, let alone full profiles of themselves.

How soon ye forget.

Just got doxed.

Well let's give it a hundred years and see if their claim is true. There'll be some red faces if it isn't. Oh wait, there won't everyone involved will be dead.

If it's an open source closed box rejigging of it, that's better for humanity. Everyone can improve upon it then.
