    ​Over 3.6 million MySQL servers are publicly exposed on the Internet and responding to queries, making them an attractive target to hackers and extortionists.

    It is open source...

      I have to wonder how many of these exposed servers are people running them at home or in small businesses that have zero cybersecurity in place.

            :thumbsup::thumbsup:

            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.
