: A comment tag that tells the database to ignore the rest of the legitimate code. 🚀 How to Prevent It
: Use "placeholders" so user input is never treated as code.
This input appears to be a , a common technique used in cyberattacks to exploit database vulnerabilities. 🛡️ What is SQL Injection (SQLi)?
