Little Timmy tried to be clever by literally injecting SQL into his name to transfer himself from the naughty list to the nice list. Classic Bobby Tables move, but Santa's not running a database—he's running Excel spreadsheets. Multiple interconnected ones. Because apparently the North Pole's IT department peaked in 1995.

The joke is that SQL injection attacks only work on actual databases, not on Excel files where Santa probably has formulas like =IF(VLOOKUP(A2,NaughtyList!A:B,2,FALSE)="Naughty","Coal","Toys") spread across 47 different tabs with names like "NaughtyList_FINAL_v3_USE_THIS_ONE.xlsx"

Security through obsolescence is undefeated. Sorry Timmy, should've tried a macro virus instead.
