It is no surprise, considering results from a Veracode study this year that showed that 84 percent of Web applications from public companies failed to pass initial testing against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities parameters. And hackers know it--they're using automated tools like Havij to make the most of these vulnerabilities.
