Someone has hacked my site, and changed all my index files !!!!!
Bad thing is, they caught me at a bad time, and some of the index pages wernt backed up!
Dont ask, I know, it should have been, long story, bad timing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Here is an example. http://trotto.zmoz.com/images/Lumina%20Fun%20Pics/index.htm

Re: My Site has Been HACKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no way you can trace them or find out any other way?

i'd gladly perform "services" on these people for free if the expenses were paid /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No problem. It's not a bandwidth issue, it's a performance issue. You get 12,000 dancing hamsters on a page and your browser runs sloooooowwwwwww...

Re: My Site has Been HACKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you might actually be able to trace them if you save all your log files off. But really, once you're hacked you have to wipe the box and start over. Who knows how long they have had access and what they have patched or changed. You have to do this in a hurry otherwise they may use your machine as a stepping off place for other attacks. They have played their hand though by changing the files, so they obviously don't expect you to just let it hang around.

I notice that you're running a fairly recent version of apache on red had linux, which should be nice and secure. I would turn off the damnable front page extensions though. I have never used them but they used to be a source of problems.

Really, start from scratch on the box, thats the only way you can be sure you got rid of these guys. Backup all the logs and shut it down now.

So, was your root password "admin" or "secret"? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What the heck is that about? I think the guy just used a spell checker and it changed 'ownz' to 'owner'. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

Re: My Site has Been HACKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear you got hacked jtice. You could try searching for a cached copy of your old site. If you're lucky you might be able to find a copy you can simply save. How long has it been since you made backups? If its not too long ago, it might not be worth the effort. Maybe someone here can help you find one of those site that cache the web. I was looking among my favorite, but no luck so far. Anyway, good luck.

Not to make light (pun intended), but at least your flashlight photo album seem to be okay! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

How infuriating! Examples must be made so hackers will get the message: mandatory jailtime plus 30 minutes in a basement room with a dozen angry Flashaholics.
