Website-Infecting SQL Injection Attacks Hit 450,000 a daD

"Cybercriminals are spreading invisible infections far and wide across the Internet by hammering hundreds of thousands of websites each day with so-called SQL injection attacks. The trend started last summer and has continued to accelerate. IBM Internet Security Systems says it identified 50% more infected Web pages in the last three months of 2008 than it did in all of 2007. Click on one and you won't notice anything. Your PC gets turned into an obedient 'bot,' short for robot, deployed to attack other computers. All of your sensitive data get stolen."
