Another week, another hack by the HackerBlog, and when it targets an important web site and the impact is severe it is worthy of WHID. This time the Romanian hacker used blind SQL injection to penetrate to the web site of the Telegraph, a leading English daily paper.

Among his findings is a table including 700,000 e-mails, which would be a gold mine for spammers.

The Telegraph response was published on their official blog.
