No we are not a staff member I can assure you of that. Visit our website, call into our office, call our office we are not in India... We started off offering support when we read this initially as personally have had no issues with this company. We have built up a good relationship with the techs who work for us.
Reading some of the replies from We3 have caused concern I do admit that especially as the thread gets longer my mouth has been wide open when I read some of the replies. It is mega bad PR for them and will no doubt cause a lot of harm in the future.
I think this thread should be renamed 'How not to handle a situation when your website gets compromised' - there have been far too many replies made that have not been well thought out in my view here.0

It appears the uploaded file is a PHP file manager as long as the attacker knows the path, they can edit any file. You should check the last modified date of ALL files to ensure the attacker did not place any backdoors on the web service. Keep in mind, these files can also use legitimate names like index.php for functions.php so dont look for obvious hack.php files.

just curious about why anyone would hack we3cares. They are not that famous (based on alexa.com they are only a couple of hundred visitors a day at the max). maybe we3cares can elaborate on the potential intention of the hacker a bit?

Just finished reading through most of this thread. Hmm, is it just me or does we3cares have a bit of a problem with English grammar? This may explain the hate for outsources support
To everyone affected by the hack, I hope your data is safe and you are getting everything that you paid for They seem very confident.0

You are correct, they are Indonesian.
http://medancyberteam.web.id/forum/index.php
Why do they do it? They just want to get noticed in hopes that some big American company will give them a job. Most of them just want to make enough money to buy a simple motorcycle.
BTW your site also made the http://indonesiandefacer.org/ top list!

Wow, this is crazy! I just saw this and couldn't believe it.
So let me see if I get this right, a server management company that promises to secure other peoples servers gets their own server hacked??
then they say it's because they don't let their own techs access their own servers?? then they say they don't owe anyone an explanation as to what happened??
All I can say is LMAO. This is the best one I have seen yet!
I would never trust them with securing my server if they can't even secure their own, and if they don't want their own techs accessing their own servers, then I surely wouldn't want them accessing my server!0

Hello,
None of my original customers have complained so far in this thread which says every one are safe.
I already explained that our own site is maintained by me (for sales reason). The hack happened even after applying the WHMCS patch. So things were beyond me. My techs worked on the server and it is perfectly secured now. There was no hacking attempt after they worked in my server.
I suspect that a group of people is behind this thread and they keep on bringing this old thread to the top.
This has been done deliberately, as every one can see that this thread has been replied once in every week.
I would request Mods to close this thread as there was enough discussion made on this.
All I can say, none of my customers has left we3cares. This message could be a sad news for the group which is behind this deliberate attempt.0

Even before, when this was still a new incident, you've been very confident with your systems.

That's actually a good point too, if the sales member couldn't trust a single tech with keeping the server secure, why should be trust them getting root to our servers?
Though it seems the thread as gone on long enough, everyone seems to have expressed their opinion good or bad and we3cares doesn't think anything bad happened as the result of this so lets let the thread dieLast edited by techjr; 07-26-2012 at 12:37 AM.
