My site was hacked today by some guys calling themselves OwnsLabs the UnderGround Team. Messed up my main page only. How can this happen and how can I avoid it in the future. (the site is www.freebaptist.net which is now off but still hacked)

I think this is more probable due to the server's security.

Re: site hacked

Looks like they installed a index.html file ---- just delete it... and all will be well...

i like their html page, lol, and that was nice that they didn't delete anything. change ALL your passwords, to the database, webserver user account, etc etc

sounds like it was a flaw in the actual server
try to contact the hackers, ask them how they got in. this is needed info for the xoops.org community, to make sure it wasn't via the CMS

usually hackers (especially polite ones like that, lol) like to tell how they got in, showing off

Not only his site, the whole server was breached. Just a defacement team, to let the webmaster understand he has to upgrade his system I'm afraid... Not the nicest way however...

They might come back and if your admin has not fixed the correct holes, they'll probably remove everything. This happened to me a while back. Some hack groups try to put ISPs out of business this way. Be alert but not alarmed.

OK. I changed the password to cpanel but now XOOPS is down with the following message:

Quote:
This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.

If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page for assistance.

Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34


Did changing the password effect xoops?
