[Intrusions] joehack, SQL and the 1433 Scans....

[Scott Sanders]

Hi there... 

I'm hoping somebody can help shed light on this issue as we have an 
identical situation here and I'm not having much luck gathering info on 
this. 

We have been investigating processor spikes on a SQL server and we have 
also found a stored procedure running with this 'joehack' string. The 
details are below: 

DECLARE @OUTPAR1 int 
 execute  sp_<removed string>  @OUTPAR1  output   
select @OUTPAR1 'joehack' 

This seems to be running under a valid SQL account. 

Any advice is appreciated.
