Lately it seems like SQL Injection attacks have been increasing. Recently our team has worked through resolving a few different SQL Injection attacks across a variety of web sites. Each of these attacks had a number of similarities which proved to point back to the same source. With this information in hand, the resolution should be much quicker.
