Fake Admin Accounts

Recommended Posts

About every few days I get a fake admin account added to my oscommerce admin list..

Its normally somethings like: adxxx4s00 or 12wi8i000 weird stuff like that..

 

Now, they aren't making any changes or anything but how can I stop this?

Don't only read it but also implement the recommendations.

 

If they can add admin users they can insert orders and harvest your customer information and .......

 

It is not difficult to secure your site just a bit scary when you start out if you have never done it before.

 

Cheers

While there are no known easy breakin methods for the latest osCommerce version as there are for earlier versions, it doesn't hurt to protect the admin directory either by changing its name or adding htpasswd protection in fact on any form of content management systems.
