One of the most recent sites to fall to waves of recent SQL injections is Sony's Playstation U.S. site. Researchers at Sophos have warned its users that pages on the site have been compromised. Experts at Sophos have confirmed hackers have successfully managed to use an SQL injection attack to plant malicious code on the pages that promote 'Singstar Pop' and 'God of War'. The code runs a fake anti-virus scan and displays false messages telling the user they are infected.
