F-Secure suffers attack

F-Secure joins Kaspersky Lab and a partner site of BitDefender as the latest security firm to have its website tampered with by a Romanian hacker group. F-Secure's site succumbed to an SQL injection attack after hackers found a vulnerable page that did not properly validate input. The hackers said the database leaked malware statistics but no personal information. F-Secure said the incident was a learning experience but "not the end of the world." — DK
