WTF!! GoSmokeless has been HacKeD!!

[devilock76]

you would be a fool to believe that no one in any circumstance cant find a way to get into a server. all it takes is an open port someone opened to fix something or remote in and forgot to close it or forgot to update a security patch and boom someones in poking around. There are several known exploits .. if known and not patched/fixed its like a open door to hackers that know what they are looking for

In my lifetime I have gotten into many a server. All I have to do is put on the charm, place my food order and wait till she gets off of work.

Talk about poking around an open port........

dude, there's never holes in the server of any sort.

You better get yourself a copy of AVG and try to protect your computer better.

These guys have sent you a little piece of code that basically got your ftp login / Can bet that's what happened. Without a user name and a password there was no way they could access the files on your server.



:--)

my 0.2

lol.. Well that's exactly what happened. The host even acknowledged it.

[precious007]

they would have still needed a username and a password to access
your files.

Anyways IF that's what happened I guess you need to switch from http://www.webhostinghub.com/
to another hosting provider: I'd recommend HostGator or 1and1. (BTW 1and1 gives you the first 3 months free of charge.

Read a lot of bad things about HostGator.
And my host has been nothing but helpful and has actually been very responsive with great customer service.

[chadizzy1]

What!!! They actually find time to sleep???

Try not to.
Cat naps, my friend!

Dirty old dog - but also a refreshing change of subject from all this technical server stuff.
I mean I'm at the state where I messed up changing the insides of my PC(the motherboard, not the basic stuff.. I'm not that retarded).

No they don't. I mean ideal world but that is exactly what cracking is. It is pretty obvious you don't work in IT security nor have you ever been on the other side of the equation and cracked a server.

Looks like it was 700k sites that were hit. Maybe we'll see some root cause details come Monday.

Yup. I saw that. He basically took two of the biggest hosting companies out with one swipe. Pretty crazy.
