Server Cleanup - Several sites found to be Infected

  • January 8, 2011 by Mr. S S.

Dear Clients,

During scheduled scan we have found couple of malwares and have taken action and quarantined the files affected. Please visit asap : http://www.a1whs.com/maldetected/ and type in your username for cpanel/whm  to see if your site(s) need immediate attention or not. If you are a reseller please type in the cpanel username for sites hosted by you, you are responsible for your clients as well. We will be taking strict actions that might involve termination/suspension of accounts that get flagged again during our next scan so it is important that you visit the link above and check to see which files were infected and quarantined/removed.  Sites can be infected for various reasons, most important of them are “bad site code”, weak “passwords” and “out of date scripts, such as Joomla, Wordpress etc.). We insist that users using wordpress to asap upgrade their wordpress to latest release, it is the most targeted script by hackers.

 

Thanks for your co-operation in our attempts to keep our server clean.

Sumeet
