5. SQL Injection.

SQL injection exploits vulnerabilities in database queries to gain unauthorized access to data. This cybercrime often targets websites with weak input validation, allowing attackers to insert malicious SQL code into query fields. Once successful, cybercriminals can retrieve, modify, or delete sensitive information.

Preventing SQL injection requires secure coding practices and regular security audits. Web developers should validate all user inputs and use parameterized queries to avoid injection vulnerabilities. Investing in web application firewalls can also help detect and block SQL injection attempts.
