"On Sunday the 6th of July there is a "Defacers Challenge" hacking competition taking place on the internet.
Groups of hackers will be attempting to hack 6000 websites in 6 hours.
To increase security some hosts are considering locking down FTP and SSH access across their servers so only web traffic and email continues."
E o stire preluata de pe forumul celor de la unitedhosting (they rule) shi consider ca e destul de importanta si site'urilor detzinatoare de phpBB + PHP-Nuke (dat fiind numarul mare de gauri in securitate gasite).
Rog a se lua atentie (NU, chiar NU este o gluma), eventual sa instiintzati compania care va hosteaza sa inchida porturile de SSH/FTP, astfel incat sa nu fitzi/fim (in urma unei mici modificari:P) 1/6000.
Securitate inainte de toate.
Repet, NU este o gluma.

10 minute mai tarziu (citez):
"Update:
This competition seems to be kicking off early, several hosts have already been attacked.
On sunday we WILL be disabling FTP and SSH access to your accounts. We will also be turning php safemode ON across all servers.
If you experience any problems or have any questions at all, please contact support - we are standing by to help wherever possible and have extra server admins on throughout the weekend to monitor the situation. "

In continuare:
"Measures you can take:
Please make sure any scripts you run are upto date, forums are an easy target for a hacker - if your forum is not current they can normally find a way in and play with your files.
Nobody else on the server would be affected due to the security we have in place (user chroot environment). "
Repet, aceste comentarii se refera strict la masurile de protectie ale companiei la care sunt hostat. Am folosit liniute pentru a nu creea un monolog/monopol in cazul acestui thread. Sper insa ca informatiile mele sunt/vor fi de ajutor, deoarece nu au fost menite "sa umple" forumul.
