[wp-hackers] New (to me) Cracker Attempt

I got a new query term from Google:
inurl: "/install.php"
<http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3A+%22%2Finstall.php%22>
Which concerns me, not because they can toy with my WP install, but
because it means that new people just thinking, "Let me try WordPress
out." may upload the files and then say, "I'll do that later." Later
could be too late as someone could have defaced their page. I know this
isn't a real threat to the 5 minute install, but it is in the case of
the n00b. Any thoughts?
Regards,
Randy Peterman
