I think "injection" was missing from that sentence. They use it elsewhere in the article but not there for some reason.

An SQL injection is a pretty common tool for websites with lax security. And jesus christ I would hate to be the one to have to explain what that was to a bunch of slack jawed computer illiterate baby boomers.

Details!

Yeah, the devil is in the details. But it seems like you're making a mountain out of a molehill. It's not like they omitted "injection" from the entire article.

It's tiny to people who know what SQL is, what an injection attack is. But for people who have never even heard the word "database," they're equating "database" with hacking and that anyone outside of a special select few should never know that it exists. It adds to the confusion and controversy. For a nontech person, this IS a big thing.
