Is this on your machine or a hosts machine?

Generally the biggest insecurity to MySQL is in the scripts used to view/update the database. I always store password and connection information below the Webroot directory so that it is not visible from the Internet. The other thing to do is to make sure that people only have permissions to do what they need and nothing more. If someone only has to read the data from a table, then they don't need the ability to write, etc.

Here (http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/web/mysql/security.html) is an article I found on securing MySQL.
