MySQL Security
Most people think about security as an afterthought - or not at all. Allan shows how to configure your MySQL database so that the hackers move on to softer targets - like those used by developers who don't read this article.
Allans tells you why, and shows you how to
1. Change the root password
2. Remove the anonymous users
3. Remove anonymous access to the test database
4. Disable TCP connections
5. Create secure users that only have rights within single databases
