Guest Brivtech Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Going through my server logs for a customer's website, I noticed a couple of things that seemed a bit out of place... One of them was a referral from Google using the following keyword phrase: filetype:sql credit card Any ideas why someone would be using this and could this cause any security issues with CubeCart? I also noticed that the Email a friend script was being used a lot since I posted an example site on here. I've disabled that until I make some modifications to only allow registered users to use the facility. Are there any other potential issues I should know about?

Guest gwizard Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Kids were looking for sql files that contain the words credit cards. Nothing for you to worry about :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gwizard Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Actually, in my experience from both sides, the really bad ones are the ones you do not see or know about.....until it is too late. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, Although I knew I didn't have such files saved into my hosting space, it was a concern nevertheless. Someone ought to give them kids a clip round the ear'ol! Seems then that apart from a potential misuse by spammers on Tell A Friend, Brooky and the development team have CubeCart pretty well wrapped up security wise then. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gwizard Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 1. Most of the hacks comes not from a badly written software but from a badly configured environment. 2. ALL software has a weak point. Always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
