Kaspersky Customer Database Exposed
secmartin writes "A hacker has managed to gain access to several databases via a SQL injection vulnerability on Kaspersky's US website.

I'm all for more security though, most places don't error on the side of caution. Nuke plants tend to (and actually security it generally even 'tougher' at casinos)...
Of course it is! With nukes plants your merely talking about human lives. With casinos; well, there your talking about money.
