One of my websites has been hacked this week. The hacker didn't come from the XOOPS section of the site but from a different script.
Since then my webhost deleted all the content and don't allow me to have any folder with permissions set to 777 saying it's not safe.
Knowing that XOOPS needs some folders CHMODED to 777 (templates_c, cache, uploads) in order to work does it mean it is not safe?
The hacker installed a script in a folder with permissions set to 777 from an external source.
