I try to stay away from databases run by other companies, for this reason. Seems to be safer to run my own and block access than the convenience of db as a service.

Obviously if you don't have the experience in this, your susceptible to this kind of leak.

From reading the thread it looks like it was a linode database running their forums.. Self hosting wouldn't solve this particular problem unfortunately
