It's pretty scary to have phpMyAdmin public facing. IIRC some older versions of mysql-server even had a bug where it'd let you in with a random password in 1/256 chance!

It should be really bad, since phpmyadmin get attempts are the most frequent on my home webserver and I don't even have it installed. Maybe older vulnerable versions are still around though.
