A few days back, amember hacked into the University of Washington database and released much data. Today, N0B0DY and N0LIFE hacked into it again, releasing the most recent passwords on Pastebin. The root MySQL password was also released, as well as many other MySQL users. The information_schema database was accessed, and they released the COLUMNS table completely, having 6363 records. The exposed vulnerabilities are of SQL injection, a technique used to take advantage of non-validated input vulnerabilities.
