A recent article about an Oracle worm:
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1880648,00.asp
got me wondering.
Could a worm like this infect a PostgreSQL installation?
It seems to depend on default usernames and passwords -
and lazy DBAs, IMO.
Isn't it true that PostgreSQL doesn't have any default user/password?
Is this an issue we should be concerned about, at some level?
