Hello Lunarpages;

I wanted to know if my website has been hacked or what is going on. On my website I do not use forms or scripts or really anything, but I notice weird things happening on my website. For starters I notice when I upload HTML files to my website that they get duplicated on the server. Here is an example of what I mean:

i will upload cat.html, but later when I log onto my FTP is notice the following:
___cat.html c_at.html ca_t.htm, so on a so forth.

Also, i just installed wordpress about 2 days ago using the script program under CPanel. I noticed today when I go to the admin section I get weird porno spam underneath my login and it does not go to the WP-Admin section anymore. Here is the ULR to what it is doing:

I do not know what is going on. Anyone have any suggestions?! I am changing all of my passwords today.

Thanks!

I had a similar problem.  Using Google for my site, I found bad porno links to my site.  When I started looking I found files with similar naming.  I went through and deleted any files that were not on my source on my PC.  I deleted a couple of extra folders.  I think it all is gone now but am still watching it.  I changed all my passwords too.

LP suggests I delete the unwanted files and change my passwords. No suggestion as to how to prevent this in the future, no suggestion as to how this occurred.

I got those porn directories, and a bunch of other stuff I just deleted. Every htm and html file had a javascript block (trojan/virus ?) installed!
FYI, there's a piece of it below, hopefully scrambled enough to be useless.


Does anybody have any idea how to prevent this?

Check all your scripts, and make sure all are up-to-date. It would also be a good idea to scan your PC with two or more anti-virus/adware/spyware software.

With that said, change ALL FTP account passwords, and your main cPanel account password.

It seems to be a bug with Acrobat that is causing this to spread at a very rapid rate. I am surprised that LP does not give any info on this. if they don't know about it yet they will soon enough... it being called "Gumblar" but has several morphs

good luck guys. I'm fighting this on a few sites too

I've had the same problem with the porno and the malicious code that was downloading viruses or who knows what. I went through and deleted the porn and deleted the bad code. After I finished deleting all that junk, my disk space usage as displayed on the cpanel general info went down to 0.01 MB (was at about 200 MB before I started deleting).

I noticed that we were running apache 1.3.41 We requested to be upgraded to apache 2 and they said they went ahead and did that (and that's what it shows in cpanel. However, when I check using netcraft toolbar which gives version info, it still says we're running apache 1.3.41. What gives?

Another question I have is that my disk space usage is back up to about 70 MB--I was wondering if this was due to the upgrade to apache 2 or is some hacker back at it putting porn on our website? I did change passwords too, so I don't really know what else to do.  Any suggestions?

Very weird, sounds like Netcraft might be using cached information about your domain, not familiar enough with the toolbar to know how it exactly looks up the information.
