So i was poking around our cloud console this morning and spotted this weird host popping up like a ninja in the night. Its flickering in the logs like it has something to hide and not a good thing. My stomach dropped thinking some random stranger might be sneaking into my code base. Ive seen this kind of stealthy connect before and it always ends with someone crying over deleted databases. If you care about your data you better keep your eyes peeled and shut that hole down.
