My site has been hacked and I would like some opinions as to how it may have been hacked so I can attempt correct it.

I also forgot what version of XOOPS I used and this is the first of any of my sites that has been hacked.

Any insight would be helpful.

Hi,

for the version part - check the version.php file in include folder.

Make a backup of database and files first!

Notify your hosting provider. Obtain a copy of server logs if you can.

Then to xoops. Delete all files except index.html in "templates_c" folder and see if that fixes the problem...

It is very likely not through XOOPS.
One year ago there were some sites hacked like this, later on it was found out the hack was through a forum software.

Check with your server admins.

Hi fadius,

Delete all files ( php ) inside /templates_c and cache folders ( make backup from adminmenu.php ).

then add .htaccess file to the /templates_c, /cache and /uploads folders with this code:

AddHandler cgi-script .php .pl .py .jsp .asp .htm .shtml .sh .cgi
Options -ExecCGI

Be aware of the security on your home PC.
Ftp passwords can be recovered with malicious software.

@fadius,

Can you give us a list of the modules + version you have installed?
Also some editors like Spaw are unsecure.
If don't have installed Protector, than do so.

The old MyAds module isn't secure, but there is a better and frequently updated classified ads module available at http://www.jlmzone.com

It rocks.
