Security Warning

Something I was reading on a list I am on made me think of security.  Periodically I do searches on Google to see how secure some sites are designed.  I won't put my actual search here, but if you search for specific parts of connection strings you may occasionally find more information than you bargained for (such as user names and passwords).  Most people are pretty vigilant about not exposing any of this.  Sometimes this information comes through from comments on a webpage.  Typically when I make this type of search I'll find 2 or 3 sites that have these errors and I promptly notify them.  This is just a heads-up to developers out there to make sure you aren't subject to this kind of error.
