SQL Injection is one of the common attacking techniques used by hackers to get the critical data.

Hackers check for any loop hole in the system through which they can pass SQL queries which by passed the security checks and returns the critical data. This is known as SQL injection. It can allow hackers to steal the critical data or even crash a system.
