LinkEX

I just recently changed servers, and much to my chagrin my LinkEx has been hacked. Fortunately I had an accurate backup
file to restore it completely. But I am wondering is there some kind of new security hole that I am not covering? This
was never an issue in the past.
The files are chmod 755 which seemed to work fine on the previous server.

hi,

it's a bit hard to tell with the informations you supply. I could be a new security hole, it could be an old one, it
could be a different script running on your server that wrote to some of the files in the LinkEX directory.

I would very much like to know what you mean by "..LinkEx has been hacked". Was index.php
replaced/edited/corrupted? Was there files in the directory hierarchy that was not suppose to be there? Please explain
it a bit more in details.

Thank you very much for your feedback and notification!

I am not sure what version of linkex I had (i have the backup files how do i tell) but I know its not very old at all
(last 3-4 months was the last time updated).

Basically what the individual did was change my sites name to "fucker" and added a bunch of spam for diapers,
condoms and viagra in link descriptions. He then set up linkex to display link and descriptions. My pass and username
I am 100% sure were not something that could be guessed/brute forced etc.

would you happen to have a copy of the "hacked" folder from your server you could email me?

I have a backup copy of it, where should I send it

support at linkex dot dk

Thanks a lot!

ok, got the email with the archive. I'll look into what went wrong later, when I have a little more time. Thanks again
for sending it to me!
