Mass SQL Injection Attack Hits Sites Running IIS

Trailrunner7 writes "There's a large-scale attack underway that is targeting Web servers running Microsoft's IIS software, injecting the sites with a specific malicious script. The attack has compromised tens of thousands of sites already, experts say, and there's no clear indication of who's behind the campaign right now. The attack, which researchers first noticed earlier this week, already has affected a few high-profile sites, including those belonging to The Wall Street Journal and The Jerusalem Post. Some analyses of the IIS attack suggest that it is directed at a third-party ad management script found on these sites."

Or just trying to be the first to jump on the Bobby Tables meme...

Yup.

...without actually understanding what it means?

It means you shouldn't name your kid with SQL in his name?
