MongoDB have a blog out about #MongoBleed

Notably:

- Internal find at MongoDB

- they notified customers of the issue and patch availability on December 23rd

- A security vendor published technical details on December 24th, Christmas Eve

- Somebody at Elastic, a direct competitor, published an exploit with full secret extraction feature on December 25th, Christmas Day

That was an impossible situation for orgs - the security industry poured fire on them and set their own customers on fire.
