Guest Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I have just discovered there is a trojan in one of our website. It runs on oscommerce 2.2 RC2a. was built last year and has not been updated since. I have just done a search on the net and I have found reports of oscommerce sites being attacked and Trojans added. I am not sure whether to ditch the site completely and use some other ecommerce software or back up from my original files then try updating the site? Then try and lock it down with some of the security measures outlined on these forums. My question is really if I upgrade am I going to be safe against further attacks and what is the best way to go about sorting my site out? If I upgrade which version is safe?
Guest Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Julie, If you clean and properly secure your current site, you will have a site that is equivalent to the security found in v2.3.1. If you choose to scrap the old site, use v2.3.1 to build another site. (v3.x is not production ready) Chris
Guest Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Can I upgrade to 2.3.1 easily and keep the same data or do I really have to start from scratch? Whats the best way of cleaning the data? I think I have a back up from when the site was first built for both the database and the web files, should I just try recopying this and reimporting the database? There are not many products so I can redo these if necessary?
