The database that drives m.careersatmicrosoft.com was handled by a mobile web development company that Microsoft relied on, and it was accessible without any authentication for a few weeks.

All signs pointed to the database, which was a MongoDB instance, not being write-protected.

Therefore, an attacker may have altered the database and, as a result, the HTML code of the job listing pages throughout the disclosed time period.

Everything was secured once Chris Vickery informed Punchkick and Microsoft of the issue.
