Weekly Recap: The World’s On Fire, and I’ve Run Out of Coffee

Oh for fuck’s sake, another week in the digital cesspool we call the internet. MongoDB’s been pounded harder than a rented mule by some opportunistic twats stealing heaps of customer data. Turns out, leaving databases wide open to the world like it’s some sort of public Dropbox isn’t the best idea. Who would’ve guessed? Every idiot sysadmin out there apparently, that’s who.

Then we’ve got crypto wallet breaches because people still think “cold storage” means putting their seed phrase on a sticky note next to their monitor. Congratulations, geniuses — your precious tokens now belong to some spotty bastard halfway across the planet, who’s probably buying questionable substances with your hard-mined cash.

Oh, and Android’s having a shitty week again. Some sneaky spyware has been sliding into people’s phones faster than malware into a free Wi-Fi hotspot. Surprise surprise — downloading shady apps and ignoring update warnings is still a brilliant way to get your life owned remotely by some hacker in a basement.

Let’s not forget the insider threats. Yep — the call is literally coming from inside the office. Some disgruntled employee decided to moonlight as an amateur villain, because apparently, HR and coffee budgets still manage to piss people off to the point of felony. Good luck explaining that to your boss, dumbass.

In summary: data’s bleeding everywhere, crypto bros crying in Discords, spyware slithering into phones, and employees turning into Bond villains. The world burns, and I’m just here watching the logs scroll by with my fourth cup of burnt coffee. Absolute bloody chaos — same shit, different week.

Anecdote: Reminds me of the time someone asked me why their “Mongo” database was empty. Turns out it wasn’t empty — it was just completely wiped by some script kiddie because they’d left it facing the bloody internet with no password. I laughed, rebooted their career, and went for a beer.
