Yesterday I went to set up 2FA for MongoDB and entered my phone number in the form but then realized I could use Authy so I never hit save/submit. I’ve already gotten two text messages from them even though my account shows my phone number as “Not Set.”

It really made me wonder what other shady stuff they might be doing with my and my customer’s data.

The same thing happens on many retail websites when you choose to check out as a guest or begin account creation and cancel. I automatically boycott any website that follows these dark patterns.

Occasionally I'll send the most relentless phishermen the number of a local FBI office

Mongodb does this? Does that affect how trustworthy they are for hipaa compliant services?
