Hi, yesterday I noticed a strange folder within my XOOPS uploads directory the folder had this name: 217540478441ce2b121575

The folder was empty so i deleted it but now when i checked its back again it seems to have created itself or someone else has created it, it has permissions of 777

Anyone know what this might be? is it someone hacking my site and putting it there?

Thanks for your help,

I am on XOOPS 2.0.13.2, apache, php 4

Cheers.

Do you have the Liaise module installed? That module creates a directory like that when files are uploaded through a liaise form...
