The SCOTT/TIGER account
Most DBAs automatically create the SCOTT account with the well-known password TIGER. This account has been used in demos for years by Oracle and by Oracle Education (utilizing the EMP and DEPT tables). However, if this account exists, any grants made to PUBLIC are also available to the SCOTT account. If an unauthorized person accesses the database using the SCOTT account, you may have a security breach.
