Security issue with my database... or not?

[Finbar Saunders]

I recently put an instructional video on the web (on how to use Table Scan Turbo with PT3) and later I realised that the details of my PT3 databases are visible on the video (e.g. PT3_2011_08_08_123456).

I didn't think much at the time but today I noticed that my website has had multiple (more than 10) searches from ga-websites.com yesterday and from this someone has access to my server number (e.g. ns.12.serviceprovider.co.uk), IP address, name, address etc.

Is this something that I should be worried about?

Is it possible to change the PT3 database number on the server side?

Many thanks for your help

The database name is not a security risk - if they have already figured out a way to log into your database server, they would have access to that name as well. By default PostgreSQL is not configured to allow connections from anywhere other than the local machine, so if you have not changed those settings deliberately (and you would know if you did), there should be no risk of someone connecting remotely.

Thanks for this - puts my mind at rest!
