Mongo Bleed Is Web Scale

Mongo Bleed Is Web Scale
A critical MongoDB vulnerability that sat dormant for 8 years (2017-2025) just got discovered, letting attackers yank out heap data like passwords and API keys through a malformed zlib request. The bug was literally committed in June 2017 and merged into production. The fix? Written in December 2025. That's an 8-year nap. But here's the kicker: there are over 213,000 potentially vulnerable MongoDB instances exposed to the internet. The punchline? "ensuring that this exploit is web scale ." 😂 For context, "web scale" is a legendary meme from a satirical video where someone hilariously defends MongoDB's design choices with buzzwords. Now it's come full circle—MongoDB's vulnerability is literally web scale with 213k+ exposed instances. MongoDB also claims "no evidence" of exploitation despite the bug being trivially simple for 8 years. Sure, Jan. Oh, and they haven't apologized yet. Classic.

Game Dev Security By Anonymity

Game Dev Security By Anonymity
The ultimate security strategy for indie devs: complete market obscurity. Why worry about CVE-2025-59489 when your player count is firmly stuck at zero? That's not a bug, that's a feature! The vulnerability can't affect your users if you don't have any. It's like spending three years building an impenetrable fortress only to realize nobody wants to break in because there's nothing valuable inside. Security through unpopularity - the unintentional benefit of grinding away at a game that only your mom will play (and even she's just being nice).

The Name's Bond, Technical Debt Bond

The Name's Bond, Technical Debt Bond
The name's Bond. Technical Debt Bond. Licensed to deploy untested code directly to production. That "007" isn't just a cool spy number—it's a scoreboard: 0 tests, 0 documentation, and 7 critical vulnerabilities that would make Q have a nervous breakdown. The only thing more dangerous than facing a villain with a laser is maintaining this codebase next week when everyone's forgotten how it works. Shaken, not unit tested.
