tsoltysiak Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi, I recently received some a disturbing message about my website. Unfortunately it was in my cPanel filemanager, when I noticed a new file that I didn't place there, that had the following message : "Note To Admin : plz , Patch Your Site ..." It has me worried, as someone was able to upload a file to my website, the same one into every directory. I'm assuming that means they also are able to over-write or edit my current files. How do I protect my site from this? Thanks for your help, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM1 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 A few things: 1. Are you securing your web forms? Are you sanitizing incoming $_GET and $_POST values? Are you escaping data you're storing in your database? 2. Change your FTP password. Be sure to choose a strong password. 3. Contact your hosting provider to see what additional steps they'd recommend, and to give them an alert to your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
