OTS.Net Hacked?

Exclamation OTS.Net Hacked?

Sometime this morning, some of you may have found our front page seemingly "defaced" and replaced with a message from some silly brazilian folks. This was due to an exploit in CPANEL 5x ... something that I have procrastinated in updating to CPANEL 6 for a few weeks now. Oh, the joys of root access *sarcastic sigh* My bad...

Which teaches us a valuable lesson ... don't put for later what would likely screw you up tomorrow So those of you who are running your own servers and are using CPANEL/WHM, update to version 6 ... now! Even if you're not using the guestbook feature, update it!

On the lighter side of things, the ones who did exploit were gentlemen enough to not do any other kinky things on the server ...

Obrigado!

I saw the message. That is some "weird wild stuff" I hoped they hadn't screwed everything up, and I'm glad to see it all back.

Aw...I missed it. Use OTS's missle launch capabilities and send some Tomahawks their way!

glad to hear the damage was limited. I just got finshed upgrading my sendmail due to a root exploit just found in all but the most recent of versions. you have to keep on top of that stuff. do you run your own server laggy?

ots.net is on a semi-dedicated server and I have root access to it ... I regularly keep up with the server updates but with cpanel I kinda just underestimated the security problem this time ... oh well
