With Google's new code search it is possible for them to index all the files that are in zip format and stored on your server. This means if you have a compressed site backup stored on your server that includes the connections file then someone could search and possible find this file with your database connection.

To avoid this please remove any compressed files. Also it will not be possible for them to read the contents of the connections/classifieds.php used in our system because it is processed by php before it is shown to the browser.

Also please note that is not explicitly for 68 Classifieds but any type of script you may be running.
