    AFCERT claimed to have it Friday night. Perhaps he either said or meant 
    "eEye" was second. The gap was described as 5 minutes, and it's not like 
    anyone listens to AFCERT :) Apparently one of their analysts had been 
    studying this particular SQL vulnerability just a week or so before, and 
    recognized the 'sploit right away.
