["Eric Rachner" <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I just missed it, but what basis do we have to classify RBS as a *web*
hacking incident?

Subject: [WEB SECURITY] Web Hacking Incidents update for Feb 10th

The Web Hacking Incidents Database (http://whid.webappsec.org), or WHID for
short, is a Web Application Security Consortium (http://www.webappsec.org)
project dedicated to maintaining a list of web applications related security
incidents. WHID goal is to serve as a tool for raising awareness of the web
application security problem and provide information for statistical
analysis of web applications security incidents.

The following incidents where added to WHID last week:

* WHID 2009-19: Kaspersky site breached using SQL injection, sensitive data
exposed (http://whid.webappsec.org/whid/2009/19/kaspersky_site_breached)
* WHID 2009-18: phpBB web site hacked using LFI
(http://whid.webappsec.org/whid/2009/18/phpbb_web_site_hacked_using_lfi)
* WHID 2009-17: Passwords are optional at SpeedDate
(http://whid.webappsec.org/whid/2009/17/passwords_optional_at_speeddate)
* WHID 2009-16: Primary schools hit by smut hack
(http://whid.webappsec.org/whid/2009/16/primary_schools_hit_by_smut_hack)

We also continue to follow older incidents and the following incidents where
significantly updated this week:
* WHID 2008-36: RBS WorldPay Data Breach Hits 1.5 Million
(http://whid.webappsec.org/whid-2008-36) - scope of incident revealed.
* WHID 2008-01: Information stolen from geeks.com
(http://whid.webappsec.org/whid-2008-01) - FTC settlement documents shed
light on the incident.
