Finally, someone registered a company that is an SQL injection attack. We saw the license plates on cars doctored to execute SQL injection attacks but this is the first time, I think, that an attempt to crash all business SQL databases in a country is made.

The company name is: ; DROP TABLE “COMPANIES”;– LTD

The registration record: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10542519

Security engineer and architect with 30+ years across Alcatel, Sony, Software AG, and Toyota. Started in embedded systems and telecom, moved through R&D, senior management, and back to engineering by choice.

Co-invented Near Field Communication (NFC) and authored 5 international standards for ISO, ECMA, and ETSI. Built enterprise security programs from zero twice, for Sony FeliCa and for Software AG (1500+ engineers, 100+ products). Patent holder in applied security automation, with a second patent pending for hermetic build systems.

I work across the full stack of security: application security, embedded systems, cryptography, supply chain, cloud infrastructure, and vulnerability management. My background in both engineering and management means I operate at the architecture level and at the policy level, whichever the problem requires.
