A large-scale SQL injection attack has hit 132,000 Websites as of today, injecting malicious iFrames that install a backdoor Trojan.

ScanSafe, which first reported the attack yesterday when it was at about 125,000 sites, first noticed the attack on Nov. 21. The attack loads malware from 318x.com, which then installs a rootkit-enabled version of the Buzuz backdoor Trojan -- best known for credit card and other financial data theft.
