sven_s Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi there, My host has reported that supposedly somebody is passing POST data which is then using checkout_process.php to send spam. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Any help would be very much appreciated. thanks, sven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhsands Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Change your checkout_process.php to a custom filename. In includes/filenames.php, search for checkout_process.php and change that to the same name that you renamed checkout_process.php to. BACKUP your current files before editing. Did I mention to BACKUP your current files, first? "I'm not a hero, I'm a firefighter; it is my job to save lives. I'm a Jesus Christ Firefighter saving souls from the flames!"

sven_s Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Change your checkout_process.php to a custom filename.

I just wanted to mention something interesting. At the exact times my host reported the spam attacks, people with AOL acconts placed orders. I was just wondering if anyone had ever heard of some sort of virus/spyware that sniffs for php mail functions and uses them to spam when the user surfs to them?
