One of my sites has became a target of several hackers attacks over the last month.. After the first hack I have strengthen the security - password, permissions of files, everything I could think of.. it only 2 weeks passed - the site is hacked again.. A bit about my site: it is an increasing popularity forum. It got a decent increase in traffic over the last few month but it is still under 2000/day I have a shared hosting and I have several sites on it.. During the first hack all sites were messed up.. During the second only one - the one with increasing popularity Who do you think is so persistently hacking into my site. Is that a competitor site? Is that my host provider is messing up with me? or just some random russian or chinese hacker does it for fun?? I use vBulletin - is it hack safe? How I can increase security to avoid hack ins?
first time they have deleted all the code from a lot of pages and put some javascript to make browser to hang and made it unresponsive.. right now they just f...d up one of the files and the index page shows fatal php error.. I do not even know what is broken
I had this happen to my arcade/video site. I got hacked about 6 months ago twice within 1 month and i haven't been hacked since. I am also on shared hosting and only 1 site was targeted. Both times they screwed with my index and made some javascript thing to redirect people to a different site with a virus on it. Sorry i can't be any more help but hope your lucky like me and they don't do it again.
The hackers may have left a back door when they hacked you the first time...that's pretty common. If you haven't completely flushed your files, and re-installed from scratch, you may want to. Either that, or have a thorough security audit. Either way, I'd start by having a long conversation with your web host. Security starts with having a web host with tight security measures and policies.
I have WHM account and have several sites, and its 2nd time in 1 week that all my sites hacked, hackers inclued this java script code in my index files, which auto come back after code deletions. I am also worry about it. I just fews minutes ago talked to my hosting provider, they said this is hapenning only with your sites. However I asked them to again restore a backup of my whm a/c. Plz anyone can suggest me a valid solution. Thanks in Advance.
