if my current host says XOOPS is #2 for exploiting, surely these other companies, which are just as big, would have had SOME problems right? ARgh, that really pisses me off.

Definitely, no... As example - I hadn't and haven't issues with PHP-Nuke, phpbb at all, but not because this systems are good and secure, only because I haven't these pieces of cheese at all!!!

Nore correct questions can be
"Do you host XOOPS2-based sites?
What is their percentage in common quantity of hosted hosts?
How much security issues on XOOPS-hosts you can recall?
When the last issue was documented?"

Good luck with the site migration. I still haven't heard anything from your (now former) hosting provider as to what we can do about the exploits they believe are there.

Well, as I said, I started shopping around for a new reseller (and I actually just signed up). I read some reviews for dependable resellers and narrowed my choices down to two.

I emailed both of them and said that my current host apparently has problems with XOOPS, and that I was looking around because I have about 15-20 XOOPS sites, and I wanted to know if they have ever had issues with XOOPS as well.

Both of them, and these are very large hosting companies, said that they have not had ANY problems with XOOPS. Come on, if my current host says XOOPS is #2 for exploiting, surely these other companies, which are just as big, would have had SOME problems right? ARgh, that really pisses me off.

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that the problem isn't XOOPS, it was my host. Not that you didn't already know that.

THanks everyone who responded.

Then htis is not your fault, it is your hosting providers fault that have set a non secure system, If there wasn't anyway to use the xoops, then the attacker had used another way to get in.

I'm not sure how that would have happened. My wife used to have a WordPress blog but she wanted XOOPS because she wanted photo gallery modules and stuff. I transferred all of her posts to the news module, but then I never had time to finish installing all the modules that she wanted. She didn't want anybody to see it since it wasn't finished so I disabled XOOPS and set up password protection for the whole directory. There were NO registered users.
