Millions of sites hit with mass-injection cyberattack

PC World – Hundreds of thousands — and possibly millions — of websites have been hit with a cyberattack that some are calling “one of the biggest mass-injection attacks we’ve ever seen.”
The attack was discovered on March 29 by security firm WebSense, and the injected domain was called lizamoon.com — thus, the name of the mass-injection is “LizaMoon.” According to WebSense, LizaMoon uses SQL Injection to add malicious script to compromised sites. While the first injected domain was lizamoon.com, additional URLs have since been injected in the attack (WebSense has a full list here).
