A particular database threat utilizes a SQL injection technique to penetrate a target system. How would an attacker use this technique to compromise a database?

Central Frost Bank was a medium-sized, regional financial institution in New York. The bank recently deployed a new Internet-accessible Web application. Using this application, Central Frost’s customers could access their account balances, transfer money between accounts, pay bills and conduct online financial business through a Web browser. John Stevens was in charge of information security at Central Frost Bank. After one month in production, the Internet banking application was the subject of several customer complaints. Mysteriously, the account balances ofmany of Central Frost’s customers had been changed! However, moneyhadn’t been removed from the bank. Instead, money was transferred between

accounts. Given this attack profile, John Stevens reviewed the Web application’s logs and found the following entries:
