Good point, Louise.
Unfortunately we (librarians) cannot prevent such things..
There is a lot of blogs/forums/boards out there that offer and share DB/proxy
information.
Take a look please:
http://download-maghaleh.blogfa.com/
http://ezproxy.free-webmaster-resources.org/
http://incredibleandaman.blogspot.com/... etc
As I see there are private persons, that share an info they got from others.
The worst thing is when librarians publish by themselves passwords and usernames
to databases or trial information.

http://librarysubjectguides.svsu.edu/content.php?mode=preview&pid=135393&sid=1165934
http://www.fcps.edu/DIS/LMS/trials.htm
What we - as a librarians - can to do:
1. do not publish in open access trial info or passwords to our databases;
2. to change password information more frequently;
Thanks for bringing this issue to the attention of the list.

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Important Notice - Library Proxy Logins on the web
IMPORTANT NOTICE
* * * Apologies for cross posting * * *
We have just noticed this blog site that provides login information for library
proxy servers and we thought as it contains sensitive information, you may want
to report this so it is removed and if you are listed, you may want to change
the login information.

Please forward this to whom it may interest.
Kind regards
