MongoDB Investigates Security Breach Exposing Customer Data

No evidence of unauthorized access to Atlas customers found, but corporate systems containing customer metadata were compromised.

Database management firm MongoDB is investigating a security breach that exposed customer account metadata and contact information.
The company detected suspicious activity on December 13 and suspects the unauthorized access had been ongoing for some time before it was discovered.
MongoDB has found no evidence of authorized access to its Atlas customers, a reference to its Database-as-a-Service offering.
The breach involved unauthorized access to corporate systems that contain customer names, phone numbers, and email addresses among other customer account metadata, including one customer's system logs.
MongoDB has not disclosed how many customers may be affected by the breach, but it has recommended that customers remain vigilant for social engineering and phishing attacks.
