It seems like this is a MongoDB database.
Scanning the US IP ranges for Linux hosts (as mentioned in the article) with port 27017 open with ZMap and then running a script that connects to the open database and saves the size of the database in a file would be a good place to start for those who want to find it.

- hendzen 11y agoPort scans (what Shodan does) are in a grey area. Actually using the port scan data to connect to a networked service and exfiltrate data is definitely illegal.
