NewsBlur was down yesterday evening due to its Mongo database getting attacked by a hacker and held for ransom. It’s restored from backup, but there are privacy implications for anyone who had sensitive private data there. We will likely find out more after the maintainer recovers from a busy night.
There are no good links for this, but it’s being discussed on Hacker News. Since it’s open source, someone described what’s being kept in that database.
(I use NewsBlur, but I don’t think my RSS reading habits are all that sensitive. Others might be in a different situation, though.)
