Al Brookbanks Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 Thats site must make a fortune out of advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hmmm i wonder what they lose from advertising every hour they down like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 They have 4,000 users on the site at a time... The amount of impressions those ads get is astonishing. One sale for a hosting company brings $40 - $50 they must get quite a lot of those every day. Let alone those who pay to adertise on the site.

Al Brookbanks Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Apache was running a nobody and I fooloshly left the forums config chmod to 777 file. To this day I am amazed how foolish that was. I religioulsy check things like that. THat was they config file was easily rewritten dropping the database. No I only give very limited access rights to mySql users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 That brings me to another question brooky (or anybody else who knows): To what do I set the files and folders in my store to not have this happen to me? Not that I have or ever will have a high traffic site (more so locally I hope) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brookbanks Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Just make sure admin/config.inc.php is set to 644 if you have a unix type system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnc2k Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 i wonder what they actually hacked though my sql or what hmmmmm spykids have written a variant of the phpbb forum worm which exploits up to one of the very latest version of phpBB. It will searach through the whole machine/server trying to overwrite web pages with that text. Chances are hotscripts.com wasnt directly hacked buy one of the other hosted website on the same box was. John - the security guy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
