I meant to keep the Web Hackings update as a weekly update, but it seems
that events are much more frequent. We have three new very interesting web
hacking incidents in just two days as a preview into how 2008 might look
like:

sites) using SQL injection to add malware distributing code to web site
(http://www.webappsec.org/projects/whid/byid_id_2007-82.shtml)

WHID 2008-01: Information stolen from geeks.com - A data breach leaking to
information leakage in a site that has Hacker Safe certificate
