  • cpanel hacked ??

    I operate a website that uses an offline credit card payment facility, hosted by Vodahost, with the site operating via Soholaunch software.
    A key module in my shopping cart programme has been repeatedly hacked with an email sub programme - despite changing my cPanel password several times. The hacker could only have done this by gaining access to my FTP (I have Bluevoda and cPanel - same UN and PW).
    I have scanned my PC for malware - all clean.
    How is my passward being hacked on such a regular basis. I select my passwords with random letters, numbers and other non-alphanumeric characters.
    Is sql injection at play here ?
    Would appreciate comments from an official source as I am beginning to doubt the security of Vodahosts FTP system.
    Regards

    SQL Injection has been going on all over.. first.. disable all email a friend, etc etc in soho. Change the password, then take it out of soho and only put it in the ftp area when you need to update.

    Put in a support ticket.

      Thank you for the reply Karen.
      1) My FTP password is not stored in the soho admin programme (an old one was logged there but since deleted.)
      2)email_friend/write review features long since disabled in my shopping pages.
      3) I'm very concerned, as to alter the code on a module itself, you need access to it via BlueVoda or cPanel, and hence the password for these areas. My password is changed quite regularly, and I thought even a brute attack on it would result in a lockout so to speak.
      I'll submit a ticket and see what response I get.
