I woke this morning to a message on my index, telling me so.
Checking the server log files, It appears that access was gained from a php arcade script i had installed in folder of my root.
luckily i make regular backups.
I have since changed all passwords, including mysql, my server hosts CP, site passwords, FTP account etc.
I am running the latest version of vbul, with the most recent security fix.
What else can i do? At the moment, the feeling is very much like that of perhaps being burgled, i feel a little on edge now.

But its been done, so just need to try and make sure it doesnt happen again i guess Contributor

What arcade script were you using? | | | Join Date: Jan 2007 | Location: UK | | Re: A word of caution I was using phparcade, but believe it was a custom template that i bought for it. Ive since found out that there were issues with it, and one or two othes suffered the same fate. Sadly i didnt get to hear about it until to late. Re: A word of caution im not saying you were using a nulled warez script but this is quite regular when it comes to using nulled warez script, you should always buy from the main supplier and then you have come backs | | | Join Date: Jan 2007 | Location: UK | | Re: A word of caution It was a paid for product, i never use warez, and have been in touch with the author, who comfirmed issues, and has advised hes fixed things.
But i shant be readding it . Contributor

sorry for going off topic | | | Join Date: Jan 2007 | Location: UK | | Re: A word of caution Sure, the template was purchased from Big Dog Arcade. The template name was V4 Grape. Ive received a couple of emails now advising that the author is happy to help get the script up and running again with the Fixes, but i guess for me, its a question of once bitten, twice shy.
It was a nice add on, but if im honest, didnt atttract the users i thought it would. | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
