I posted this on SQL newsgroup but I have received no answers so i am
reposting here.

THE PROBLEM
When i came into the office today I hit ctrl-alt-del and brought up the
logon menu. To my surprise the name in the User field was "SQLDebugger".
I was under the impression that this account was used only iternally to the
prgram and that by default it did not have local account logon privalleges.

Further, the event logs show five logons by the SQLDebugger from the IP
address 222.137.205.131...mainland china...

THE QUESTION
Is there a loophole being exploited?
Where can I disable or restrict this account?
It is not listed in Active directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Call 1-866-pcsafety
Instruct them that you need to speak to a PSS Security representative
that does forensic analysis of Servers.

Ping me back.
This needs to get looked at ASAP.
