hostmysiteplease Posted Thursday at 04:44 PM Posted Thursday at 04:44 PM I've been having issues with my account (sending too many emails, running out of compute etc) and I just found a html file in my account with the following content. Anyone know what this is or what it's about? Does this mean my account is compromised? Is it a warning? A threat? A taunt? Kinda confused what it means and what it's all about <html> <head> <title>Ok, you've found me!</title> </head> <body> <p>Ok, you've found me... <p> Ether: 0xf1d373bd334114a2712589D56dc72D982766bE26 </body> </html> Quote
MoneyBroz Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM Yes it looks like someone may have compromised your website and placed this html file as a taunt as most hackers do this. This was likely caused by one of your Wordpress installations being hacked as the security of the software is poor. Because of this, it's recommended to reset your account. Quote
wolstech Posted Thursday at 06:07 PM Posted Thursday at 06:07 PM Being hacked would also explain why his account suddenly sent 220 emails recently... WP is pretty much guaranteed to be the cause. When hackers break into WP, they nearly always either send spam or set up a phishing site. This one apparently decided to taunt you and send spam. Quote
hostmysiteplease Posted 4 hours ago Author Posted 4 hours ago Ok, give me a few hours I back up everything then we reset it. Don't worry, I won't re-upload the files. Just need them for reference as I recreate everything Quote
