"Owned" Mails stating cmsms can be hacked

Post by MaxR »

Hey there,

just got about 20 mails like that:

Code: Select all

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are information of two free hosters included, ohost.de and funpic.de. I don't know what to do right now  - the website the mail alluds to wasn't changed anywhere. I also keep daily backup. Do I have to worry? And would someone maybe be so kind to help me find out which ISP I could notify about that? The first "from:" - IP belongs to domainfactory. But is that really the origin of these mails?

Doesn't seem to be a very common thing ;)

and for the record..  I'd like for somebody to post a link to a CMS that can't be hacked.

Any package is potentially vulnerable to hacks.... many of which just haven't been found yet.
And then if you add 3rd party modifications, you're increasing that likelyhood by an order of magnitude.


So.... unless somebody has concrete proof of a vulnerability in the CORE package, messages such as this are useless and are basically spam.
