Bobby Tables Meets Password Breach
We've all seen the "Little Bobby Tables" comic, explaining the perils of unsanitised input, SQL injection. Now, what if we were to turn the tables on attackers with this exact method? Maybe make your password be something with a comma, so all the CSV dumps that are bought and sold break?
