+Facebook wasn't the only site with security troubles this weekend. The United Nations website was attacked by "hacktivists," who replaced speeches by secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon with pacifist messages. 
+
+As with the [Facebook code breach][3], the U.N. site left itself open to attack by failing implement industry standard security measures. In the case of the U.N., hackers gained access via a well-documented SQL injection flaw (passing unescaped strings, which allowed the attacker to inject their own SQL).
+
+While the site was quickly restored and the injected content removed, Hackademix, a security blog, [captured the attack in some screenshots][1]. Hackademix also [notes][2] that the U.N. site is likely not yet protected against similar attacks in future.
