SQL Injection Attack Claims 132,000+

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the check-yer-code-people dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A large scale SQL injection attack has injected a malicious iframe on tens of thousands of susceptible websites. ScanSafe reports that the injected iframe loads malicious content from 318x.com, which eventually leads to the installation of a rootkit-enabled variant of the Buzus backdoor trojan. A Google search on the iframe resulted in over 132,000 hits as of December 10, 2009."

    Doesn't say what systems are affected by this SQL Injection.

    How is this modded +4 funny?

    Those who are inexperienced and inquisitive certainly won't find it funny when they kill their entire system by executing this command. Would it be funny if I linked a trojan to this post which formats your system. No.

    You're the sort of guy who leaves mains electrical cables exposed so he can laugh at his kids when they touch them. They should have known better right?
