Upon further reading, this is a part of their Bladelogic Automation Suite, and that BMC has documented how to remove that account once you have it up and running. I think the Remedy equivalent would be if you installed AR System and left the Demo account out there as it.

Totally... It would be nice if they were a little more specific in the articles. My stress level went up for a bit.

I read the article and clicked on the link to the Krebs on security site. Based on that site, which may or may not be correct, it's saying that the potential BMC product is BMC Performance Assurance Agent. Since this isn't a part of Remedy I really have no idea how it works and if there is a back door or if it was installed and they forgot to change a default password. In any case, it's not Remedy, so that's a good thing.

This news article hit today... http://www.startribune.com/business/242688511.html It says that a default password in a BMC ITSM product may have contributed to the target attack.
