mbakshi Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Hello all - unfortunately some miscreant with too much time on his hands decided to mess around with my site, http://www.techautos.com . It appears that he/she used the recent PHP-Nuke admin.php hack to do so. I investigated the security breach with the other site admins, I have fixed most of the site up, restored passwords, patched up using the newest security update, and am working on other defaced parts of the site. I do have the hacker's (if he/she deserves that name) information (and some proof): Online 'name': Lover_Ice Site: http://www.lover-ice.com I'm very frustrated at this utter waste of my time, and I know most of the time it's difficult to actually have some authority or the hacker's hosting company, etc. do something about it, but I would like to at least try. Does anyone have any ideas? Luckily, most of the content was unharmed, but as I said, I'm mainly frustrated because of my wasted time and effort. Thanks guys Quote
TCH-Dick Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 (edited) You can try and contact the host, heres all the info I found host www.spry.com registered to jose ignacio calderon e-mail addy jose__calderon@hotmail.com server IP 216.127.78.63 Edited October 16, 2003 by borfast Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Hi, As Mike says, try contacting the host, but other then that, unless you want to involve a costly Law suit that might not even work, there is nothing that can be done about. I would contact the ISP too and complain about it. Other then that, keep everything patched and upto date. Jim Quote
Deverill Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 It must have done some good if you did contact the host... I can't get to their site today which is a good thing. Quote

TCH-Dick Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Is this something those of us running php-nuke should know about? Yes,but I'm not sure what versions it affects. Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Hi, Best thing to do is pop over to the nuke site, check out the latest release and update your own to match Jim Quote
