Phishing

Jun 15, 2007

I currently run a dedicated server and for the past 2 month or so have been attacked by some hackers or so. Meaning that on my sites every other day there is a folder of a phishing site. It is either paypal, ebay, exc phishing site and I know that I did not upload it there. I have tried almost anything to stop that, but it just keeps happening, my server company suggested to do os reload, but I am not sure as that will cost me $100. Was anyone faced with a problem like this that can give few suggestions? I use cpanel server.

Prevent Phishing

Jun 1, 2008

I'm not that techy I'd like to ask why this person downloaded the file below before uploading some phishing webpages on my account ? I've changed my password numerious times from different computers and even from mobile phone just to check if the person can still get in. But again it is no use the person were able to upload phishing pages.

logs:

May 25 21:50:42 server100 pure-ftpd: (weblogin100@62.56.133.36) [NOTICE] /home/weblogin100//.htpasswds/update/Login.php downloaded (21251 bytes, 755.78KB/sec)

Right now I deleted all other scripts on the account and remain some htmls. Folder were also set to 644 no 777, while waiting if the person can still upload his phishing pages please help me why he downloaded the file above. I've check the file on my account and I cannot see Login.php. By the way I have a root login and only two accounts were a constant phishing victims.

Scraper, Rogue Bot Or Phishing

Jun 9, 2009

I spotted a user on my site with the hostname: gator832.hostgator.com
This particular visitor identified themselves as a "visitor", with the user agent: Mozilla/4.8 [en] (Windows NT 6.0; U)

Upon typing the user's IP into google, a boatload of "phishing" / "bad bots" logs come up.

My question: Can I identify visitors like this via automation?
i.e.: fake users. People who masquerade themselves as a human, while they're really a bot.
(I only noticed this potentially 'bad' user because I was viewing my visitor log in real-time. -I was on at the very moment they were-)

In previous experience, not every user with the "host" phrase in their hostname are bad users, so sniffing those bits wouldn't do anything useful.

Email Phishing Alert

Apr 26, 2008

Gmail has a feature to detect email phishing and it marks them with a red header alert saying "Warning" This message may not be from whom......", I believe this red alert has nothing to do with spf record of that email, so how does it detect it as phishing email?

We have spf record and I sent an email from another server, when I received that emai the spf record was "softfail" but it does not have that red alert.

Preventing Phishing Sites

Feb 18, 2007

I am running a hosting service. Recently a user put a phishing site on the server, pretending to be an eBay signup page and soliciting passwords. I had all kind of truble with this, because eBay complained to my server company.

I would like to ask if you know any solution what would block such sites automatically?

It could search for some predefined texts on the page (such as "sign in to eBay") and block the page if they are found. I wasn't able to find anything in Apache documentation.

A List & Anti-phishing Stuff

Dec 17, 2007

I don't know about security on servers much, and we're setting up our new server. I have the techs doing the install stuff, but I would love to know what to install security wise. My current list:

Firewall - good free one?
Antivirus - good free one?

rootkit, some way of stopping it (anti-rootkit?)

Also, is there some sort of script which searches all cPanel accounts/files for phishing sites or spam sites etc? I swear I've seen one before, in firewall form?

Oh the server setup is going to be:

php5-CGI, fCGI, mySQL 5, apache 2.2.x, centOS, ruby on rails, django, ioncube, other php libraries, mod_rewrite, I think thats everything. (cPanel).

Someones Uploaded A Phishing Site

Jul 31, 2007

Someones managed to upload a phishing site to my VPS.

How do they normally achieve this, there has been no unauthorised root access as I get e-mail each time someone log in as root.

Is it likely they've just managed to guess my ftp password, or is it going to have something to do with a script running elsewhere?

I've got solarvps looking at it now.

HostGator Being Targeted By Australian Phishing Scam

Jun 2, 2009

I know Brent from HostGator reads here so thought I share this, If you are an Australian you are more than likely getting phishing emails supposedly from Commonwealth Bank (Australia's largest bank). I get about 20 a day to all my email addresses, here's one I got today:

We recorded a payment request from "HostGator -www.hostgator.com- Reseller Web Hosting"
to enable the charge of $74.95 on your account.

Because the order was made from an African internet address, we put an Exception Payment on
transaction id #POS PAYM7284 motivated by our Geographical Tracking System.

THE PAYMENT IS PENDING FOR THE MOMENT.

If you made this transaction or if you just authorize this payment, please ignore or remove this email
message. The transaction will be shown on your monthly statement as "HostGator - Reseller Web Hosting".

If you didn't make this payment and would like to decline the $74.95 billing to your card, please follow
the link below to cancel the payment :

Cancel this payment (transaction id #POS PAYM7284)

NOTE: Because email is not a secure form of communication, please do not reply to this email.

© Commonwealth Bank of Australia 2009 ABN 48 123 123 124

Of course I'm not a customer of this bank nor am I with HostGator, but these emails are getting more sophisticated by the day.. please also see [url]

How To Fight Phishing / Fraud Sites In Free Hosting Server?

Aug 30, 2007

I run a Free web hosting service on my server with XPanel script installed. It has around 47K accounts in all. Recently i started getting mails from e-bay, banks and many other institutions regarding the Phishing sites operating from my server for cheating their customers / members. Though i removed them but i have to do it manually and after getting mails from them.

Now that i dont want any more such site to run from my hosting site, What are the options available for me in order to check all accounts automatically and remove any such site on its own? As there are 47K accounts and 100+ new signups each day, it is not possible to check all accounts manually.

I want any script / addon which can check all possible Phishing / Spamming / Spurious / Fraud sites and intimate me/ delete them upon request. Any person using such services? I need your guidance + support.

Looking for some fast and effective answers from experts here.
