MySQL server that allowed anonymous logins Has anyone got more information on this? Various Google searches keep pointing me at the other four hacks.

    Thanks for this link. Although it talks about: database accessed using old forum credentials So I'm not sure "anonymous login" would be an entirely accurate description.

      The server would in fact accept any credentials as it had been started with --skip-grant-tables. Tested it myself.
