Good Afternoon Everyone,
Due to unforeseen circumstances and a script being found by our service provider AussieScanners was placed offline until the issue was rectified.
I am currently working on locating and removing the rogue script and changing access to our backend. To my knowledge we have only been down for most of the morning. i apologise for not getting this resolved quicker, however i have been unwell today and this is the first time iv been able to get up

It was taken down by our host as a preventative measure, i have since done a restoral of one of our backups and im hoping that will have fixed all the issues, i will be looking at moving Aussiescanners to a more secure platform as i suspect the culprit has exploited the hosts server and not our service itself.frankc wrote:Th site was down from approximately 10pm WST last night FWIWPhil wrote:Good Afternoon Everyone,

Generally these things are related to outdated or insecure software / plugins.Phil wrote:as i suspect the culprit has exploited the hosts server and not our service itself
I'd be having a quick check through the Joomla/phpbb software and plugins and making sure those are up to date. I'd probably look at that first rather than the host itself.
Generally when an out of date plugin is found and exploitable, automated scanners then search the web for any sites using that plugin and exploit them without manual interaction.
