My Pwnie Nomination was Accepted!

Yeah! If you were wondering why I wanted to know who discovered SQL injections, it was to nominate a "Pwnie for Mass 0wnage". And it was accepted:

  • SQL injection in more than 500,000 web sites

    Discovered by: Rain Forest Puppy back in 1998

    SQL injection attacks are not new, but this year we saw an upsurge in the number of automated attacks against vulnerable websites. Reportedly more than half a million websites were compromised.

Although I see they went all conservative on the numbers (500k, *psccht*). ShadowServer has nearly 500k from the nihaorr1.com injection alone. Anyone with contacts please correct them.
