Hackers infiltrated the systems of billion-dollar software giant MongoDB and accessed customer information during a recent cybersecurity incident, the company said over the weekend.
MongoDB is one of the largest database software companies currently operating, reporting $1.2 billion in revenue this year.
Customers, they added, should be wary of social engineering and phishing attacks.
In an update released about two hours later, MongoDB noted that it was experiencing a spike in login attempts that was causing issues for customers trying to login.
They also said the intrusion was not the result of any security vulnerabilities in MongoDB products but did not say how the hackers got into their systems.
