Database Gone in 13 Seconds

<p>How long does it take for a database to be seized and held for ransom? 13 seconds. &nbsp;</p>
<p>In and out fast. Criminals don't like to linger at the scene of a crime. Same holds true in the cyberworld. They want to get in, make the score, and get away. &nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.hackread.com/hackers-left-ransom-note-after-wipingout-mongodb-in-13-seconds">Security researchers setup a honeypot</a> with an unprotected MongoDB database to see how long it took for hackers to locate and attack. In just 4 hours, a cyber-criminal found it and in 13 seconds they removed 30Gb of data, leaving a ransom note. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The lesson is clear. Unprotected digital resources will not stay safe for long. It doesn't matter what they are. In this case it was just garbage data set out there as bait by the researchers. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>If it is valuable, you better protect it. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Couldn’t agree more.  It’s absolutely crazy out there in cyber world.  Criminals have the ultimate ability of hiding behind their annonymity...picking and choosing where they strike...with almost no worry of ever being caught.

Protect your stuff, people.

Anything that can easily be stolen, will be stolen.  Rules of life.  

If you want to keep your stuff, you need to actively protect it.
