Uploading Boxes to Atlas via Curl

First, you'll need to get an access token.

Then, prepare the upload:

curl 'https://atlas.hashicorp.com/api/v1/box/USERNAME/BOX_NAME/version/VERSION/provider/PROVIDER_NAME/upload?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN'

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):

Dear intern

Dear student,

when I was 18 I was given an incredible chance. I got to intern 2 months at a company called Netlash in Ghent.

This company was booming at that time and I was just a guy interested in web design with no degree whatsoever.

I worked there for 2 months and learned more than I could imagine. I had 2 bosses: Dirk and Bart. Dirk taught me everything about visual design. Bart taught me about business. I learned the designer's side of web development from the developers.

After I left the internship, Bart called me with an offer to work full time for them. I was happy and did so for 4,5 years.
