[BOSSES NAME],

Recently, a rather large database provider named MongoHQ had a security incident allowing the attackers to gain access to all of their customer databases.

Although we are not directly affected by this, it does raise a possible question:

  • Are we fully prepared for a similar intrusion?
  • Does our admin/support system have similar vulnerabilities?

Here is an excerpt from their security posting (bold is mine):

Banana Bread

Ingredients

  • 1/2 butter
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 smashed bananas
  • 2 c. flour - whole grain or white spelt is best
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
