What is FSUM

[jimmyharwood]

I have the following url showing up in my whos online /index.php/?fsum=15 (although the 15 does vary), any body have an idea what this is. I am bit concerned as my site got attacked a short time ago. I nade the silly mistake of not renaming admin. I have corrected this and stuck it behind various password controlled barriers and added the security mods.

 

Now see this, and with no clue, could do with finding out, I have captured the ip address and it is based state side.

 

Many thanks

Cheers for the reply, the problem is that I do not know why there is a fsum appearing in the "last URL" I have googled the IP (67.195.112.167) and it shows up on http://www.securitynewsportal.com as a site scrubber - in the intrim I haveblocked this ip address. As I know only a smidging about OSC and allways learning I do notknow if FSUM is generated by the code of OSC or added by my server - or by somebody being naughty.
