[60s Demo] MongoDB 8 CE Installation on Ubuntu 24.04
The client wanted to install MongoDB 8 CE on their Ubuntu 24.04 server. They had followed the official instructions, but MongoDB refused to run.
I attempted the installation myself and encountered the same issue on their server, though it worked perfectly on my own server. Using the strace tool for analysis, I uncovered a hidden crypto-malware called perfctl, which was preventing MongoDB from running.
After informing the client about the malware, they decided to wipe the server clean. Once the server was restored, MongoDB ran perfectly without any issues.
