Guest Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Chris, You have to update the site to RC2a, then apply the security patches as described in the security forum. Once that is done, install the 5 'must have' security contributions. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIMBLE Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Depending on how altered you current store is with lay out changes and added contributions, you might be able to install a brand new updated site and go from there? cheaper than hiring someone too Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Chris, You definitely have an admin vulnerability that needs to be addressed immediately. The site is using highly modified template and if you want to maintain that look and feel, I wouldn't suggest installing a new store and starting from scratch. However, I do suggest you SECURE your current site. Remove the malicious code and anomalous files and then update it manually to a newer version of osCommerce.

♥geoffreywalton Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Good first step. A link to the steps you need to follow to disinfect your site and then to secure it are on my about me pages. If I remember correctly the security patches can be installed on earlier versions as well. Cheaper than hiring someone too!!

Have you changed your FTP password? If they have access to your .htaccess file they may be coming in the same way that you are. You may also want to scan your PC for malware just in case a password stealer is working against you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drillsar Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Are you hosting your site yourself? I would for one not use FTP, use SFTP which is part of SSH, alot more secure. And block port 21 One way to find out is to check your access file on the server, get the IP of the person and find out whats not secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
