Hacker Attempt?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

It's fairly crude but almost too simple. I have all sorts of security updates, mod_sec realtime, changed admin folder name, .htaccess/pwd and other measures in place.

 

I just got a ticket from a visitor using a Serbian IP address, asking:

 

Can you host this script.....http://......

 

and then giving a url in wordpress format.

 

The likelihood is that clicking on that link would take me to a page that would harvest where the visitor (me) came from, revealing my changed administration folder address. BEWARE!

Just did a search on the forums here for the user's IP just to see if it appeared here, and voila, it did. On this thread:

http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?80423

 

While I know most of you here wouldn't click on these links, can you be sure your staff would be that aware?

 

Block the IP's listed on that thread above and make your staff aware of the strategies being used.
