Author here: I completely agree that it applies to any database and I tried to mention it in the article. The reason I wrote about MongoDB is:
- I wrote about it before and could compare results from my previous post
- It's popular and there are a lot of public instances of it
- MacKeeper exposed 13 million user accounts through their public MongoDB instance
And I actually wrote a follow-up post on Memcached to highlight the same issue: https://blog.shodan.io/memory-as-a-service/ https://blog.shodan.io/memory-as-a-service/

- muzmath 11y agoI'm not talking about what the author wrote, I'm talking about the 500 posts which entire take away was 'mongo is retarded'. Reread what I wrote.
