Knowing a back end exists

[BJ Freeman]

while doing google
I found a lot of links to the actual back end of the ofbiz demo
this got me to wondering how more susceptible we are if the a search
engine finds a link to our backend.
I have a domain that even though the page is now gone, there are
attempts to hack the page for security. I get like 100s of posts and
gets to this page everyday, for different IP addresses.

You should secure your backend, and at the very least tell robots.txt  
to not search. IMO this is the job of the webmaster not the open  
source project.

yea I guess since ofbiz demo has the login as part of the url
it is easy for google to do this
