A malicious file has been uploaded to my 1&1 webspace. I need this fixing.. Message from my host company 1and1.co.uk. A few minutes ago, our anti-virus scanner reported that a malicious file has been uploaded to your 1&1 webspace. Name of the file: ~/urban2/wp-content/plugins/wponlinebackup/tmp/[login to view URL] To protect you from dangerous hacker attacks, our anti-virus scanner checks every file that is uploaded or modified. If a file exhibits malicious patterns, it is automatically disabled. This detection will continue to run after this message in order to disable any other malicious file. Important: The attack is still running. Your websites are at risk. As long as you do not take the suitable measures to stop the attack, the attackers will continue to access your webspace and may sooner or later harm your websites. The intrusion point is one of your passwords or a vulnerability in the software that you have installed. To ward off this attack and restore the security of your site and data, please proceed as follows: 1. Change Your Passwords If the intrusion point was one of your passwords, you will stop the attack quite simply: Change that password and disable the access for the hackers. We recommend you to change the following passwords: - 1&1 FTP - Admin-Password of your Joomla!, Wordpress and other content management software 2. Update Your Software In case the the hackers entered via a security breach in your software, you need to update that software. Newer versions eliminate known security breaches and protect you against further attacks. TIP: Did you install various software modules? Hackers often place the first malicious files in the directory with the security breach. The the malicious file ~/urban2/wp-content/plugins/wponlinebackup/tmp/[login to view URL] might therefor give you an indication on which software you need to update. You will find the latest versions of Joomla! and Wordpress on: - Joomla!: [login to view URL] - Wordpress: [login to view URL] 3. Rename the "admin" User Does your content management software use the user name "admin" for the user with administration rights? Then simply change this user name. This being the by far most effective protection against hacker attacks that target the administration password. If you have any questions, simply reply to this e-mail quoting our reference [Ticket AB89148528] in your message. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward continuing to improve the security of your 1&1 account.
