Got Hacked by Sarbot511
Just a few days ago as I was browsing around my websites and notice all of my web sites on one particular server were hacked by a so called “Sarbot511″.
See the image below of the screen capture of one of my web site when the hack happened. If you want to, you can click here and see the actual file used by the hacker. (I scan it, there is no virus but it contain very bad html codes)
About a month ago I was hacked for the first time by another spammer on this website. You can read my post here. Now a few weeks later I got another hacked and all of my web sites in the server were affected. This time it had nothing to do with Wordpress, but it was the lack of security on my server.
Currently I have 3 web hosting accounts from two different web hosting companies. Two of the three web host accounts were by hostgator. The third web hosting account was with a company called Infrenion Networks which got hacked by “Sarbot511″.
All of my index.html, index.asp. Index.php and other index formats in all folders or sub folders were replace by the hacker’s files.
Luckily for me I backup all of my files and overwrite all the hacker’s files in a few hours. Also, the other good news is that the database were not affected, only the server side index files.
I am now closing my account with Infrenion Networks this month and opening my third hostgator account.
The sad thing about this is that I don’t know why they hacked my websites and my server. If you see the page the hacker used, what is their reason for the hack? Please tell me.
