Database software

Database software provider MongoDB has revealed that its corporate systems were the target of a malicious hack and has issued a warning that contact details and metadata related to customer accounts were among the stolen data.

MongoDB, a company based in New York, said on December 13 that it noticed “suspicious activity” on its network and that it later discovered the hackers had been inside its systems “for some period of time before discovery.” The business withheld any further details regarding the compromise.

Lena Smart, the chief information security officer at MongoDB, informed clients that there was no known risk to the data stored by users of the company’s popular MongoDB Atlas product.
