    I need a little help to stop a gaming website using my bandwidth.

    I was first alerted by the super high bandwidth usage on my server.

    I logged in to SSH and used #top to view what was going on. And an unknown command was running as root.
    The command that was running was ./s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 50229
    (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the gaming website)

    I killed the process but,.. any help would be appreciated.

    Block the IP using htaccess or your firewall

    you need to change your password and check your server as it seems to be compromised
