[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
