These hackers have me fed up!

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Before this turns into a religion thread, nobody is stating that these hackers indeed are Muslims, only that someone is hacking websites, and leave text suggesting that it was a muslim group that hacked the website.

But who else is there to blame? Thats what my TV says. I would suggest moving hosts all together. Also, I changed the name of most of my vb directories. And use httaccess for extra protection.

Right, it has nothing to do with religion. I actually doubt they're Muslim at all, they're probably just some internet "taggers" who are blaming their handiwork on the "hot topic" (and I don't mean that shop that sells the goth type clothes).

Anyway, they've managed to get the site down AGAIN. I'm really perturbed now.

Anyone up for helping to do some security work on my site? I could pay a bit (please don't move this thread to "services") if need-be or even do some work-in-kind.

I'm going to go around .org tonight copying out links to all of the "make your site more secure" threads and try to do as many of them as possible.

You can't just blame muslims for it, theres plaenty of other hackers out there too, the way your saying it it sounds like your blaming the religon, there no need to say 'muslim hackers' why couldnt you of just said hacker eh.

He doesn't, he states that the hackers in question left behind a Muslim page.

He put the word Muslim inside inverted commas, clearly pointing out his feeling that it is a hacker making out that they are Muslim.

@Krahl: Do you have ssh (Shell Access)? It is the easiest way to import a backup of your database.

If not: phpmyadmin - click the SQL link or Button. You should have a Browse button on the resulting page.

A note to everyone:

All posts relating to Religious debate will be removed from this thread.

This thread is about the fact that a site was hacked, not the pros or cons of any one religion.

*edit* I have amended the thread title as it was inflaming people.

good move kall . As for the problem, has this been happening to your website again lately? Also make sure that you at least have a blank index page in the directories that you don't have a index page in. This way you will protect more files.

@Krahl: In your first post you mentioned that the perpetrator(s) gained access to "an admin account". How many admin accounts do you have?


@Sean S: Nice site.
