Bar-Yosef estimates, the hacker could steal confidential data using an attack called SQL Injection.  Usually the web pages that provide search box or form filling, can be attacked, because the box will be connected directly with the database.

According to him, do not need deep technical expertise to do so.  Even novice hackers commonly referred to as 'script kiddies', can perform this type of attack.

However, SQL Injection attacks can be fatal.  For example in the case of company-owned payment system jebolnya Heartland and 7-Eleven by a hacker named Albert Gonzalez.  (Np)
