Written By David Shipley

Beauceron CEO David Shipley covers the 'Mongo Bleed' vulnerability in MongoDB that was disclosed and then publicly exploited on Christmas Day, leading to potential data leaks. Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege faced a breach enabling attackers to manipulate in-game functions and distribute billions worth of in-game currency for free. Trust Wallet's browser extension was compromised, resulting in a loss of approximately $7 million in cryptocurrency. Finally, a phishing scam using a legitimate GrubHub subdomain to promise fake Bitcoin rewards was also discussed.
