stitchup Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Hello all Before I type further, I need to state that I'm a complete numpty at all this! I hadn't looked at our site for more than a week so when I tried to yesterday, I was surprised to see some other page appear - just afew lines of text, nothing nasty or rude :) Anyway, I contacted my hosting service and they were very quick in replying as follows: Hi, Your site was hacked. I found many hackers scripts in your account. I deleted all these scripts for you and restore your site. I advise you: 1. reset your cpanel password and the password for your site admin panel 2. scan your local PC using some good anti-virus 3. update your osCommerce and it's modules to the latest version. -- Kind regards, I was very grateful for their help in clearing the hackers scripts and I've followed their instructions in point 1 & 2. Point 3 however is going to be beyond me as I have no idea! Can someone suggest my best option to get this sorted? Many thanks John

Can someone suggest my best option to get this sorted? Many thanks John I'd start by determining what version of osCommerce store you have. I find that by going in to the admin side then: tools-->server info on that page I see my version: osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2a Once you know your version, that's a good starting point. My hunch though is that you'll want add the security items given here It's worth the effort. Good luck! I am not a professional webmaster or PHP coder by background or training but I will try to help as best I can. I remember what it was like when I first started with osC. It can be overwhelming. However, I strongly recommend considering hiring a professional for extensive site modifications, site cleaning, etc. There are several good pros here on osCommerce. Look around, you'll figure out who they are.
stitchup Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Sorry for the delay in replying! I thought I'd subscribed to the thread. I'm using: osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2 RC2a I'll take a look at the link you included. Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. John
