Hackers have launched a massive Web hacking campaign, putting malicious links on as many as 10,000 servers, security vendor Kaspersky Lab warned Friday.
"We?re estimating that in the last two days alone, between 2,000 and 10,000 servers, mainly Western European and American ones, have been hacked," Kaspersky wrote on its Web site Friday, "It?s not yet clear who?s doing this."
The attackers are most likely using compromised accounts on the Web sites or launching what's known as a SQL injection attack, where hackers trick the Web site's software into inadvertently running malicious commands.
Humpty, thanks.
The news is enough to make me want to bury my head in the sand but we all must stay aware and up-to-date about these things. I read the article and I am sure there will be much more to follow.
