Online stores come under attack

Mark Ward writes for The BBC:

The move to target the databases and programs that power online shops is a significant change in tactics.

In one case, an attacker got hold of a PC maker's entire customer list and sent everyone on it a nasty note.

"It's kind of like an arms race. It's the next logical step to go after the application itself," said Rob Straight from software firm Compuware.
