Submission + - Hundreds of Thousands of Microsoft Web Servers Hac (washingtonpost.com) 1

andrewd18 writes: "According to F-Secure, over 500,000 webservers across the world, including some from the United Nations and U.K. government, have been victims of a SQL injection. The attack uses an SQL injection to reroute clients to a malicious javascript at nmidahena.com, aspder.com or nihaorr1.com, which uses another set of exploits to install a trojan on the client's computer. As per usual, Firefox users with NoScript should be safe from the client exploit, but server admins should be alert for the server-side injection.

Brian Krebs has a decent writeup on his Washington Post Security Blog, Dynamoo has a list of some of the high-profile sites that has been hacked, and for fun you can watch some of the IIS admins run around in circles at one of the many IIS forums on the 'net."
