The old security chestnut of SQL injection weaknesses may well be the cause for the weekend high-profile hacking of the Guardian Jobs Web site, says Imperva, the data security specialist.
Amichai Shulman, Imperva's chief technology officer, said that the most eye-catching feature of the site hack is the use of the phrase 'sophisticated and deliberate attack.'
"Our experience shows that 'sophisticated attack' is usually a pseudonym for 'SQL Injection', although I must admit that an initial glimpse into the site hints that it may actually be a more sophisticated hack than the usual," he said.
