We should discuss this in the other thread, if needed. ;)

Thousands of websites infected by SQL injection attack

Around 1.5 million URLs infected



Quote
AN SQL INJECTION ATTACK campaign is spreading like wildfire, with 28,000 URLs that were initially reported to have infected code increasing to around 1.5 million within about four days.

In its latest update, Websense said that 1.5 million URLs have the same structure as the original attack. Although the figures only count URLs rather than individual domains or websites, the number of websites that have been compromised is likely to be in the thousands by now.

The first domain that Websense saw infected with bad code on 29 March was called Lizamoon.com. From there the infected script spreads to other websites through SQL injection, a technique that exploits insecure code through the database backend of a website.............(more)

The SQL injection has nothing to do with your browser as the injection is into the page source code. We have seen several instances of the lizamoon . com injected scripts being blocked by the Web Shield as win32:Script-inf detection.

Whilst NoScript should stop the script being run (so should NotScript for Chrome), unless you have very lax NoScript settings, so it isn't guaranteed.

So for now be thankful that the web shield is your protector in these injected scripts.

I just received this:

"Kroger wants you to know that the data base with our customers' names and email addresses has been breached by someone outside of the company. This data base contains the names and email addresses of customers who voluntarily provided their names and email addresses to Kroger. We want to assure you that the only information that was obtained was your name and email address. As a result, it is possible you may receive some spam email messages. We apologize for any inconvenience."

So if you shop at Kroger or Smith's and supplied them with your email address,
expect an increase in your spam and not the kind you eat either.

I wanted to ask them if they'll give us a discount on Spam the next time we do our shopping.... ;D

Millions of email addresses exposed in Epsilon breach
http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Millions-of-email-addresses-exposed-in-Epsilon-breach-1221307.html
It gets worse by the day:
Epsilon Security Breach Spreads:
https://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/epsilon-data-breach-expands-include-capital-one-disney-others-040411
http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/list-companies-hit-epsilon-breach-040511

Update to those affected by this breach: To those living within the US, the phone number to call Epsilon for additional information regarding this breach is 1-866-595-4896.  However, Epsilon is a global company.   I contacted them and was told that hackers gained information from Epsilon, however the only information they gained were email addresses.  The concern is that the hackers are now sending out email to the emails the obtained with malicious codes (they would not offer when pressed what malware is involved or where the hackers originated from as they "could not disclose that information" to me), and Epsilon is advising users when you contact them to not open up emails you do not recognize and to keep your antivirus and firewall up to date.  Epsilon refuses to disclose additional information and will not offer free ID Theft to users who were affected as of contacting them 4/05/11.
