I've got 200 sites in my windows server and now all of them hacked by these stupid bitches group. No files were deleted but it is pain in the ass to update all of the index.html files one by one. I know someone here face this kind of problem right now. Its not really hack i guess its website defacement.
Maybe.. But my static html sites are being deface also. They replace all the index.html with their own index file..
We have our own dedicated server... Is there any tips to secure our sites? Coz i believe they can do it again if they want.
They would have gotten in via one website and then gone through the lot - they would have entered via a dynamic site, no doubt a security hole in one of your CMS. Update all your scripts - that includes core files and all modules and addons. The Red Devils Crew have been going for years and are based in Saudi Arabia Also as well run a anti-virus scan on your server because they would have likely left some sort of script on there.
you can htaccess them and password protect the directory in your cpanel if you dedicated server come with cpanel.
sorry to hear that. I also dont want this thing to happen to my site as well. hope you can get away from this problem soon.
I guess it is just defacing not hacking .. if they hacked you they would have deleted/Changed all of your files. bothways, they may have left a backdoor opened or so .. so take care
Everyone else is saying it and so will I.. You must keep your security updated. The next step is keeping scripts on user accounts upgraded and keep poorly coded scripts off the server. I see this happen on a daily basis at work. Hopefully you keep regular local back up's. PM me if you have any security questions.
