This is the first large-scale automated SQL injection attack. Automated
attacks have been around for a long time, as have SQL injection attacks.

Honestly, this current attack is just a nuisance. SQL injection attacks are
usually more destructive, in that they often involve the theft of sensitive
data. In those cases, of course, the attack is manual rather than automated.
But if your site is vulnerable to this automated attack, it has always been
vulnerable to these manual, destructive attacks - which may have already
occurred without your knowledge.
