Default Re: Warning: Iframe based attacks using stolen FTP access info

We have seen a bunch if IFrame attacks but these were all done via an FTP exploit, and happened to one customer of ours who builds x-cart based websites, and it happened to every store they built, all in the space of 1 day.

We had to secure their hosting accounts then remote desktop into the customers computers and remove the viruses on their PC's which were uploading viruses and other nasties using any FTP connection found on the PC's.

Was a nightmare for them to have every store compromised in 1 day, but its times like that, regular offsite backups come in really handy!
