My attacks started after installing FileZilla.

92.114.126.25 (a games server in Romania) appears in my FTP logs 5 times. I’ve seen the same IP in the log of another site that has been destroyed by a similar attack. Complaints to abuse at the service provider have not produced a response.

Several of my sites got infected by this attack, too. We were puzzled at first because sites on two different hosting accounts were hacked in exactly the same way. I didn’t immediately think that one of my office PCs would be the problem.

In the end we did isolate the cause of the infection – a laptop used to administer all the sites involved – and rebuilt it.

Interesting to read someone else’s experience on this – having two servers running concurrently at the time of the attack was an unfortunate coincidence for you!

Regards,

Roland

I guess you need to run SpyBot Search & Destroy more, I was forced to go back to it recently since my AV software was not stopping all the threats that you pick up simply from surfing the web now days.
