Hacked last night

First off I DO NOT think they got in via WHMCS, but WHMCS was the target.

 

These two IP's did the dirty work

61.5.46.167

125.160.192.154

cc.order@live.com

 

They changed one of the administartor passwords and added their gmail account it. They then created a new client and ordered 18 nodes of VPS services. Somehow they also requested the password for a client with a different email address than what is in the system. My guess is they gained MYSQL access through an outdated Joomla install on one of the subdomains we run :oops:

 

Luckily they goofed the password on the admin so I got the notice and was able to get their IP's blocked at the firewall update Joomla reset the users and admin password before they got much further. They persisted to try and get back in for 3 hours after they were blocked.

If you still have the logs of their hack then report the IPs

what I do when I need subdomains for my hosting account such as my blog.. I make a new cpanel account that way I have security on my accounts.

 

for example blog.domain.com, secure.domain.com, and http://www.domain.com would be 3 seperate cpanel accounts using the one domain..

 

that way if you have an outdated joomla install.. like this you can just suspend the account yourself or gain control of it with an update and so forth.
