Urchins, LizaMoons, Tigers, and Bears
In early April, I wrote about the famed “LizaMoon” SQL-injection attacks. I said it then, and I’ll say it again now: SQL-injection (SQLi) attacks are a constant. Some of these attacks are more visible than others. Some adversaries find intelligent ways to hide their tracks so as not to splatter evidence of their misdeeds all over various search Read more…
