New SQL injection attack on Windows Servers in the wild

.NET programmers check your sites to make sure you’re not affected by this latest SQL injection attack.

“There is yet another large-scale injection attack going on right now, with nearly 200,000 pages affected so far. The compromised pages are serving visitors with malicious code that sends them off to a remote server for installation of malware.”

I’d still recommend Linux as a more secure platform wherever possible but good coding practise should prevent SQL injection attacks, whatever the platform.

Google Analytics Realtime

Just read about Google Analytics realtime today, signed up for the beta and it’s live already.

Well worth a look. If you use Google Analytics already switch over to the new version and apply to join the beta here – https://services.google.com/fb/forms/realtimeanalytics/

Here’s Google’s own blog post announcing the new feature – http://analytics.blogspot.com/2011/09/whats-happening-on-your-site-right-now.html

Apologies for banging on even more about Google, they do make my life easier though.

Google Docs improvements

I like the new look Google Docs a lot and especially that text Documents now have a notification feature too. It was added to Spreadsheets way back but that’s a biggie for me and it makes collaborations far easier, which is something I use Google Docs for a lot.

I still highly recommend Google apps too if you need to collaborate a lot. Make sure you try out the free version first if you want to take a look – http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html
