How? It's server side code being rendered to the client so there's no attack vector there.
True - but you've now seen the name of tables, and it's obvious that Stored Procs aren't being used. As soon as you find an input form, the attack surface has been opened up.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
Not as bad as one I discovered recently: Database connection strings stored in a publicly accessible txt file coupled with request strings being completely unvalidated before being appended to various SQL queries. Had a call from the client one day asking if it was us that created the 'slartibartfast' table. It turned out to be some bloke on the other side of the world having a bit of fun. Reminds me of my favourite XKCD[^].

The question is, did they know who Slartibartfast was?

Can people be so dumb? I would not be surprised if they put the FTP credentials of the website as a comment in the index.html under the pretext of ease of maintenance.

All you've got are table names (and for the movie table only) - you can't actually get access. It's dumb and stupid but not a humungous breach

This points out another coding horror/problem (whatever). It gets past IE 7. Sad but yes IE 7 lets it past while Opera and Firefox don't. The most we can hope is that IE 7 was made to ignore the problem. I seen a page where the title is in the body instead of the header so it is shown on the actual page.
