Is URL / Variable Name the new Port Number ??

There has been a fair bit of blog buzz about the new SQL Injection worm that ran around infecting sites. I have not looked too deeply into it, but have not yet seen accounts of how the targeting was done.

Strange Entries in your wbeserver logs, Wikto and questions about our Gender!
