Hi Justin. To clarify, from what I understand, October 28 is the date MongoHQ detected this. They've provided us with the logs of database access, and unfortunately the queries leading to our spam attack on Saturday started as early as October 19.

I can understand that MongoHQ wanted to obtain the full picture here and not put other customers at risk by exposing this information before the situation was fully locked down.
