MySQL Unauthenticated User Attack

I am running MySQL 4.1.

All mysql logins including root are set for localhost access only, no remote access. However, when I run the mysql administration and watch the connection monitor, there is some connection "unauthenticated user" always show up from time to time.

Some hacker has broken into mysql and deleted forum account, posts, etc. Is the "unauthenticated user" a known security problem with MySQL? Is there a patch to fix it?

Thanks for any info.
