Today after over 4 years with no problem one of my sites was hacked. The index.php file had this added to the end.
------------------------------------------
echo "";

?>

--------------------------------------------
FIRST: How can I protect to ensure this isn't done again. I have made sure the index.php file is set to READ only permission 444. Has anyone else had this issue.

I had similar situation with one site made with XOOPS 2.0.18 i think.

As far as i know, and I'm not an expert on this, this hack is caused by trojan who entered on server via ftp passwords from your system.

That's my opinion.

A die site called xoopsdemos had these same problem... two days after, it was hacked by a well-knowed turkish hackers group.

Close your site, ask your hosting service about this & change right now all your passw. I hope you´ll have a database backup copy.

All da best luck with it.
