An anonymous reader writes "Help Net Security has a story that covers the dramatic increase in the number of hacker attacks attempted against its banking, credit union and utility clients in the past three months using SQL Injection." Article follows up on press release with a little more information. Not a lot here shockingly surprising, but it's worth mentioning that SQL injection is a real pain for web developers. You have to be very careful about checking user input.

So I assume database driven sites should just not allow the user to enter any input, then it'd be 100% secure!

Maybe Slashdot should implement that policy, at least we wouldn't have to read ignorant shit from you any more.
