RIAA Website Hacked

Slashdot reports the existence of an SQL injection attack on the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA) website last Sunday.

The Register says the "RIAA's high-profile lawsuits against file sharers have made it a prime target for hack attacks."

While the RIAA has restored RIAA.org, whether is is any more secure than before is questionable since the site did not have even rudimentary security controls in place.

See TorrentFreak for sample screen shots of the result of the attack on the RIAA site.
