This is a little sideproject I've been working on. If you love i3, you'll love this project. Minimalistic in system resource usage, yet packed with features to get so much more out of your i3bar. Because this is only something I c

There is now more evidence supporting that there are no backups, e.g. he doesn't even store information about which servers he already looted (he is erasing the same servers twice or more). Until someone has logs that prove otherwise o

Another log shows that he even connects to the same server twice sometimes, deleting his own message just to re-insert it- That means he doesn't even save which servers he deleted. Such blunt action is remarkable.

No, thats why things like BTC Tumblers/ Laundering exist.

My thoughts, too. But before claiming this I at least wanted to encourage a second look. I also ensured this was the only time he connected, so there is no plausable way he is backing up the data.

Could someone more familiar with MongoDB please confirm that this does not show any backup of data? Maybe MongoDB does not log just looking up data?

Aquired log of such a hostage taking, contains the IP of the hostage taker, but beware it could be obscured by a botnet or similar. Update: in a different log he used a different server for the attack, suggesting he might be using innocent

Shouldn't be hard to get the IP etc, as you can just connect to affected servers and review the global log. Just search for mongoDB on shodan and see for yourself.

I am not affected by this hostage taking. On the contrary, I am one of the authors of the aforementioned info paper from early '15 warning about this kind of stuff. If you want more information about the incident back then, look me up

Sure but then we can just use the energy to suck all the co2 out of the atmosphere and blow it out into solar orbit or something. There are better materials to use for making plastics with infinite energy, although I'm probably not qua

This was debunked years ago. Making plastics from CO2 is possible, but an energy hungry process which does not suck up any relevant amount of carbondioxide from our atmosphere. It isn't going to be the climatesaver they claim it to be.
