Protecting my database

Thanks for a very useful plugin.

I connect to our mysql database in both snippets and in PHP code directly on pages. I’m concerned that this information including the password can be picked up by someone. Is this a legit concern? If so could you recommend how to beef up the security, please.

All the best from Copenhagen
