My Site got hacked :-(( - 3/2/2008 19:35:20
I run a small community site B*ll*cks-to-pca.org [where, due to the naughty word checker on this forum, * = o] for suffers of Prostate Cancer, which got hacked Sat night by "KimLiksiZ DEVLET" ("MUSLIM_HaCkER").
The hack involved addition of a bunch of index.* and default.* files in every site directory and sub-directory.
Any idea how this can happen and b*stards like this can get access? There is only one FTP and FP account for site updates which is mine and my PC is secure.
The site is prmarily .asp using FP as the basis and is on a shared windows server. I have quieried the hosting service about it. So far all they have come back with is "Do I have Content Management System?" The answer to which is no.
Advice please kind gurus as I don't want to spend anymore Sundays deleting crap files on the site via FTP. (The databases were all OK - thank heavens)
TIA
Bernie

You should contact your host, they should help you with getting this fixed.

- Most likely it is the fact you're running an ASP script that isn't secure. Something that needs to be updated that never was. Those are usually the most common causes for defaced sites.

There is always a chance for a security issue/hole. The best hosts are the ones that find it quickly and patch it up ASAP.
You can ask them for more information regarding what the security issue was, or how they "patched" it. They could just be giving you BS, or they could really be on top of their game. It does sound a bit fishy that there was an exploit in the server, but only one of the servers was affected. Seems to me if there is an exploit for windows server 2003, all servers would be affected.
Their explanation is perfectly fine for an average user. However, I personally would expect more of a technical explanation, with details on what exactly was fixed.
