Thousands of Websites Hacked

Security vendor Kaspersky Labs warns that ""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." – Content courtesy of Thousands hit in broad Web hack
