suriya Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hey . Just about 20 mins ago my site (suriya.me) hosted in server stevie, got defaced (I know cause I was checking one of my comments and then suddenly got a 404 when I browsed and index showed this) . I don't think its a targeted attack and have good reason to think that it might be the server that was compromised and a script was run to deface sites (DB was untouched) .As you might already know I am a security researcher and have helped you fix vuls in the past. I would like to have a look at the logs and get to the bottom of this . Please provide me with the logs if possible and maybe a give a backup or restore of my site if you can . I think I even know the attack method used (mightt have something to do with stevie cpanel expiring) . Admins can PM for it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 What logs are you interested in seeing? The system does not create or store any old versions of files or backups of anything automatically. Users are able to create their own backups through cPanel and we highly recommend that everyone does so quite frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
