What is the key characteristic of SQL injection attacks?

  1. Phishing for personal information

  2. Embedding SQL commands in forms or websites

  3. Spreading malware through attachments

  4. Redirecting users to fake websites

The correct answer is: Embedding SQL commands in forms or websites

The key characteristic of SQL injection attacks is embedding SQL commands in forms or websites. SQL injection is a type of attack where malicious SQL queries are inserted into input fields or forms on a website, allowing attackers to manipulate the database backend of the application. By doing so, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, modify database information, and potentially execute commands on the underlying database server. The other options, phishing for personal information, spreading malware through attachments, and redirecting users to fake websites, are not specific to SQL injection attacks.
