I wonder, and I am just pulling this out of my ass, if this is anything like the Skyscraper Index.

Perhaps we see this many SQL Injections because money is getting thrown around too liberally (and bad coders are getting more work) and is a precursor to a bubble.
Does anyone know how this news correlates with past SQL injection numbers, and if it has increased relative to the amount of internet usage?
