List of Incidents for a Classification

We hope to complete the classification process soon.

The web site of RIAA, the Recording Industry Association of America was attacked twice using SQL injection over the weekend. First a query that takes particularly long time was posted on a social network web site causing a distributed denial of service attack against the site. Later on hackers found and abused additional SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities resulting in major defacement of the site.
