To be fair, the fault in this case seems to be nothing to do with MongoDB. If I left SQL Server unsecured on a public facing network. I suspect it would be compromised pretty quickly too.

You are right, the issue is between the chair and the keyboard.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

MongoDB is just a pawn in the game of data storage.

True, but shouldn't the default configuration be a little safer, rather than completely open?

"Nobody move, or..." Betcha. They're not snowflakes, though; they're wankers who want to force their way of life on others. Every political affiliation and religion has plenty of them within their membership; they're just too stupid to realise that not everyone can believe or want exactly the same things that they do. "Live and let live" is probably the second-best advice that was ever given to anyone by anyone. * The best advice ever given being "Don't cancel Firefly, you bloody morons!"
