What is SQL injection?<\/strong> It\u2019s a cyberattack that exploits vulnerabilities in your website\u2019s database queries, allowing hackers to modify, steal, or delete data\u2014or even take full control of your site. SQL (Structured Query Language) is used to manage and retrieve information in relational databases, and poorly protected forms or fields can be entry points for malicious code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does SQL injection work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Attackers insert malicious SQL code into input fields (like login forms) to manipulate your database. For example, a hacker might use a form to inject code that reveals usernames and passwords or deletes important data. If successful, they can access confidential information or disrupt your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If hackers get in, they can manipulate all your stored information, including sensitive data like credit card numbers or business records.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
