Folks scanned for non-password protected mongoDB databases exposed to the open internet and if there was any useful data in them, encrypted them with ransomware. Nice.

I get the desire for :10bux: but instead they should've told them to announce to their users how lovely their security is in exchange for the decryption keys.

 Re: manufacturing bill

Hey it's me, Jerry from HTC,
I noticed you still haven't paid us for manufacturing the Pixel phone. Please transfer $50m to the following account in Latvia (it's for tax purposes, don't worry about it)
