So they’re not targeting anyone particularly religious, that last one was just a site that sells handmade pet products.
What a bunch of assholes.

In reply to: Site was hacked again, same timeframe as last yearThis time it looks like they did not get into the database, which did happen last time – everything was wiped. the backup is going smoothly and the site is starting to populate again. I’ve found two files in the root that were created yesterday, last night, when no one should have been on. One is called X.sh and Samping, I believe these might be scripts that were uploaded by the criminal.
These are the only two files on the server.
Apparently there has been a rash of Islamic extremists hacking sites all month, i did a search for the file names and found tons of links about church sites being hacked, and some actual hacked sites, example:
Here is an example of a hacked site with a Muslim tag I found just searching for these files:
http://www.glidden-ralston.k12.ia.us/x.php
I reported this all to the FBI of course. Our site in particular has never been religious or especially interested in Muslims, as an aside, but that will change now, im probably going to block the entire middle east except Israel and the Islam-dominated areas of the pacific rim just to be safe.
When we got the DDOS attacks from China for criticizing its imprisonment of I Ching scholars, it worked really well to block the whole country.

I do not get a static IP
I’m not going to talk more about hosting companies, but I am wondering on how to do the transfer, I have all the files transfered off the site pre-hack, is the only thing I have to do once I get moved to my new host is transfer them back? I am guessing there is a guide somewhere but I can’t find one. Ive never done a restore from a blank slate before

In reply to: Site was hacked again, same timeframe as last yearYeah, we have the brute force protection – hell it even locks ME out half the time. I think I’ll have to switch hosts before these are added – most of the time when I talk to them they act annoyed with me, now they’re just ignoring my ticket and I don’t want to deal with it anymore.
Someone from FireHost is calling me tomorrow to talk about hosting, but it starts at 200 USD a month. I’m considering hosting at our office instead, so I can have control of the server a little more but I don’t have enough experience yet to be able to handle it all.
Comcast itself may be more professional since they are a big company with horrible over the phone customer service and really good on site service.

In reply to: Site was hacked again, same timeframe as last yearThanks for the reply, it’s LAMP.
I do not know what security and hardening is provided by my hosting company. The company is 9th Node and they do not provide any security solutions up front, aside from a promise to keep the server updated.
Phishing is a huge concern of mine, I run no less than 5 different virus, malware and adware programs on the two pc’s with access to the server – Spybot, Malwarebytes, Ad-aware, AVG, Windows Defender…and more recently i was not accessing the site…in fact on one PC which I trust alot less the user had not been logged into the site for over 2 months. So this is the only point of entry.
This may be completely unrelated, but over the past month
I also noticed our Comcast account was behaving very weirdly, some stuff got reset that should not have, username p/w was reset to my business account, and then the xfinity wifi was shut off to customers. I found an unknown device that did not match anything in the office – seriously i checked every little thing, and it reconnected two times in the modem after I had banned it!

In reply to: Special Characters AGAINPlease guys any clue helps the last support topic for this is 2 years old, and this was working fine before I upgraded to the new WordPress a few days ago.
WordPress turns my author’s special chinese characters into question marks after posting.
