An email template to send to your boss following the MongoHQ incident. Use 1Password (preferred), iCloud Keychain or LastPass.

[BOSSES NAME],

Recently, a rather large database provider named MongoHQ had a security incident allowing the attackers to gain access to all of their customer databases.

Although we are not directly affected by this, it does raise a possible question:

  • Are we fully prepared for a similar intrusion?
  • Does our admin/support system have similar vulnerabilities?

Here is an excerpt from their security posting (bold is mine):

Created June 30, 2013 17:55
If you run `host` with https://google.com, this strips the https://
#!/bin/sh
# cp host /usr/local/bin/
# I only use host for checking records, and 9 times out of 10
# I copy paste the url from my browser. Chrome adds http[s]://
if [ -n "$1" ]
then
# 1 parameter, let's do this thing
/usr/bin/host ${1#*//}

flactomp3 converts a directory of flac files into 320 mp3's. Installation instructions below.
#!/bin/sh
# Converts a directory of .flac files to the proprietary and lossy
# .mp3 format, retaining meta data.

# Run as root (sorry mom) like this: curl http://gist/test.sh | sed 's/defaulthost/pablo/g' | sudo sh
# This basically turns on ssh and sets a new hostname.

echo "Succesfully changed hostname to `hostname`"
echo "Enabling SSH access.."
