Hey guys, it's been a few months since I played with SS and I'm getting withdrawals. Been playing with Magento, which hasn't been the most exciting experience.
Any way I'm very hung over today, so I thought I'd through my query out there and see what comes back. Hopefully more than my marinated brain can produce.
I've been hosting a couple of sites on host gator, not the best host, but cheap to host a couple of sister sites on a different ip. They've been hacked a couple of times in the last month. And now google has de-indexed some of the sites :(
The first time I got hacked I reset the ftp/cpanel password and user name. I've been hosting 2 SS sites and 2 Word Press sites (WP being my brothers choice of CMS). And it's a shared host.....
Are there security vulnerabilities with SS? Ones that could enable the server to be hacked? Host Gator being the angels they are don't offer a lot of incite. I'll search though some log files after a strong cupa Joe. After writing all that and rereading it I've forgotten what I was going to ask.... DAM I had a clear question when I started. "after a minutes hesitation" I guess any ideas into why I got hacked and ideas on prevention... but that's a lot to ask....
