My site just got hacked for the second time in two months. The first time they got into the VB admin area and deleted my forums. I tracked this back to an individual who may have somehow gotten the log in details. To prevent that I changed everything and gave it to no one.
This time around the hacker doesn't seem to have messed with the database but changed the index.php file and who knows what else. I can log in via FTP still under the old password and saw the index file was new. I added in the old one from the VB 4.0.6 install to see if the site would come up but on my request the host had already put this on lock for me and changed it to a generic site down for work page.
The first thing the HOST stated the other week when I was hacked, VB is having some issues with their security. Today the first thing he said was , VB has several issues going on right now and others have been dealing with this same thing.
I don't know how people do this stuff but since being hacked the first time I have heard more and more issues with VB's security. None of it being good. I love VB and even took the leap to go to 4.0 when others did nothing but complain. Recently though I am considering making a change as this is getting out of hand.
I know nothing is 100% but in comparing VB to others I am not seeing the same type of constant discussion about security flaws.
Does anyone have a better suggestion ?
