The e-mail heavily implies that the security breach was CouchDB's fault instead of those who were administering that Couch server.
Deliberate passing the buck or accidental bad choice of words?
- jashkenas 15y agoI think more of a serious gut check for anyone who's deliberately exposing a CouchDB server to the web because it contains all or mostly public data.
- throwawaysnipe 15y agoMy bad, just realized you aren't e-mail writer or npm admin. Thrown off by gist author. Deliberately exposing anything to the web should come with lots of... wait for it... deliberation. The npm guy is a core community member; this incident shows a lot of sloppiness and doesn't inspire faith.
