Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Shared hosting account hacked many times.

[willowdale]

Our web site has been hacked many time over the last few months. The hacker only puts links to other site in our html code. We changed the FTP password many time but we are still finding malicious code in our main index page and other pages on the site.

We can figure how and from where they are coming in and how prevent further hacks.

Any help or advice will be appreciated !

Thanks

Hi,

if the hacker is hacking your sites many times then you have a compromised script on your site. Also weak passwords for ftp.

What services are you running
for example

What version of Apache and PHP also do you have any open source content management system that is outdated. Do you read the apache logs and try to find attempts to hack your system.

You need a systems administrator to make sure your site is secure.

My guess is that you have some compromised software that is outdated and the hackers just use simple scripts to hack into your servers.

You need your server audited by a professional

do u own the server? if u do, tepezcuintle is right, your server should be audited for security.

otherwise the hacker should inject them through unsecure scripts on your sites.

also see if your index file uses 777 permission
