VPS Hacked!! Please help

Hello,


I got this email today:

IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
This message is to inform you that the account user has user id 0 (root privs). This could mean that your system was compromised (OwN3D). To be safe you should verify that your system has not been compromised.

Can any one help??

 

I would suggest installing the open source ossec in there: http://www.ossec.net . It is very good at detecting rootkits and attacks to servers..

thanks,

Linux or windows vps? Theirs a big difference.

 

This is a fake message you got in order to get you hacked email account. Don't follow and discard it. Mind your email password security, change it often and make it strong . Care also password recovery details so you can regain hacked yahoo email very quickly. Hack email account those days is very common so care your privacy email account. Mrerry christmas - cheers.

 

Indeed, ignore it and if you want you can ask your host if they indeed did send it.
