Looking for Potential Job seekers - How about free access to 200 million records - A huge MongoDB database containing over 200 million records with resumes from job seekers in China stayed accessible without authentication for at least one week to anyone able to locate it. The size of the cache weighed 854GB.



The version of the exposed MongoDB was 4.0.4, where the default configuration offers protection against online access and would not have allowed the data to be reachable over the internet. However, online exposure is still possible when the server is behind a firewall that has been reset.
