Ransomware attack / endpoint

UNSANITIZED INPUT · SQL PAYLOAD · DATABASE EXFILTRATION · 1M RECORDS STOLEN

Threat scenario:

An attacker discovers an unsanitized login form and injects malicious SQL syntax to bypass authentication entirely. The database responds with every record it holds 1 million customer profiles including names, addresses, email addresses, and raw credit card data exfiltrated silently before a single alert fires.

Our Assessment

SQL injection is a highly preventable yet damaging web attack caused by poor development security practices.

Input validation, parameterised queries, and WAF protection block most SQL injection attempts before they reach the database.

When a breach occurs, our team quickly assesses exposure, supports PCI-DSS and GDPR reporting, and secures the application against future attacks
