So, I deleted the cgi-bin folder, and then went on my security program, and did a bunch of extra security features. They are having a hard time finding the file now. Is there a way to block all IP Addresses other than mine from accessing the data on my server. Anyone know? There is no reason that any IP addresses should want access to my server other than my security program and the few trusted folks I allow access. Thoughts?
Well, just looked, and it is re-added to cgi-bin folder again. Dang… help!
What I noticed is that the line of code that keeps changing had the permissions set for anyone to “write”. So it said the world can both “read” and “write” to that file, so I turned off “write” and so far the “default” file with all the malicious code was not reinserted into the folder cgi-bin. I notice this on another site and will see if deleting the folder cgi-bin stops that for fun, but hopefully I fixed this? Any input appreciated!!! What was happening, is my client’s site would redirect to different spam sites, but not all the time, sporadically!
I see what is happening. Wondering if you guys can help with input. I have shared hosting on Go Daddy and know they will charge a lot. The person that was working for me did not properly protect these sites, even though I paid her.
That said, I keep deleting a text file in cgi-bin. The file keeps repopulating itself. I see all the redirects in there… what can I do, as I notice this on more than one site. Please assist with any input. I tried to delete lines of code in the htaccess file but still repopulated. This must have been injected prior to installing I-Themes Security.
Thank you!
