Thousands of websites infected by SQL injection attack

[glennybee]

Has anyone been affected by this attack?

Are vBulletin sites likely to be targetted?

interesting, is it related to the mysql.com attack this week?

They report maybe "millions of sites" are infected... and most or all using Microsoft SQL Server 2003 and 2005.
April fool?

I wish it were a joke, it brought my Vbulletin site down 2 days ago.. I was running a 3.x board but tonight am upgrading to 4.12. I knew it was an injection sql thing.. I traced it back to a Russian Botnet. I t also screwed with my Wordpress front end as well and I had to re-install.

This is no joke.

One night the site was running fine. (3 days ago) then down it went. We had seen an increase of Spammers trying to get in. I guess one of them did.

Oh well it's forcing me to upgrade, but also have to delete all posts as well as users from the last 2 weeks.
