Some of Nasdaq’s computers were hacked via a SQL injection attack and the Aite Group is blaming open source, and Network World’s Alan Shimel is angry.
“When I see supposedly intelligent people blaming open source for simple SQL injections I see red,” Shimel said. “Can you spell F-ear U-ncertainty and D-oubt?”
