Massive SQL injection attack compromises 380,000 URLs
Posted on 31 March 2011. 

A massive SQL injection attack campaign has been spotted by Websense researchers, and the number of unique URLs affected by it has risen from 28,000 when first detected yesterday, to 380,000 when the researchers last checked.

The injected script redirects users that have landed on the various infected pages to the domain in the script, which then redirects them further to a website simulating an anti-malware check and peddling a rogue AV solution. 

Both sites are currently offline, say the researchers, but the attackers have started using other domains for redirection, and will likely keep changing them up.
