karaouf1 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 dear heliohost admin, please unsuspend my account. I can not figure out the reason of its suspension. if there is any issue or misuse please let me know, so I can avoid that in the future. thank you for the great service! regards,
Luigi123 Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Your account was suspended for Root Symlink. In fact, it cannot be unsuspended. Root symlink is where someone creates a folder symlink pointed to / (basically a virtual folder that shows the entire server's contents). It's very common on accounts that get hacked and is generally used to attempt to compromise the server. You will need to create a new account. Sorry for inconvenience that made this cause.
karaouf1 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 hacked! was this hack made possible via WordPress, or due to a weak login password ?
karaouf1 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 when I try to create a new account, using the same email address, the signup page lands on my previous "account suspended" notification page. Can this be fixed? Or is there a way to just reset my account, wipe its content, so I can use it again?
karaouf1 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 Thank you for the reply! When I try to create a new account (sign-up), I enter my email, solve the captcha, press the next step button, then I am automatically redirected to the "account status" page where it says my account is suspended.
wolstech Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Please check your email for an invite for a new account. You will need to pick a different username. As for the original cause, yes, Wordpress got hacked. We highly recommend Wordpress not be used for this and many other reasons. It's terrible software, and the free plugins that are often full of malware make things even worse. Many of our users have had bette success with joomla as a replacement that doesn't have these issues.
