Yeah, I could definitely see that happening though the overall number of exposed MongoDBs has also increased. And there are Docker images that come w/ insecure defaults ala: https://hub.docker.com/r/swcc/docker-mongodb/~/dockerfile/ https://hub.docker.com/r/swcc/docker-mongodb/~/dockerfile/ One of my concerns is that people are piling onto MongoDB because "it's web scale" and ignoring potentially systemic security issues that aren't specific to MongoDB.
