I'm often asked "How should I setup my security for Cassandra?" My answer
is simple "Do not expose them to the outside world! If using AWS, setup
your VPC and block any IP address that's not in your range and restrict
what machines can access them."

MongoDB has been in the news for hackers deleting unsecured databases and
demanding money to return the data.
Now copycats are starting to look at other targets too like the thousands
of unsecured Cassandra databases.
Preventing this is very simple: don't allow Cassandra to listen on public
