Security holes?
I have received blackmail from someone telling me they will hack my site and delete my data on regular basis if I don’t delete one of the categories on my site and couple of forum threads. This category is very helpful to the Slovak and Czech students who are coming to America for work during the holiday. The category contains information of businesses that didn’t pay them for their work in the past.
What should I do to protect the data? Are there any security holes in the LSql? Or is there anything I could do to protect this account? Should I add a user to the database? I’m using the same password for my database and for my cpanel or FTP login. I don’t know much about the security of the server, so I’ll be glad for any advice or opinion.
I have LSql 2.2.1 and PHPBB 2.0.11 (newest)
I have the Apache Version : 1.3.33 (Unix)
CPanel Version : 9.9.9-RELEASE Build 121
Operating System : Linux
Perl Version : 5.8.0
MySQL Version : 4.0.22-standard-log
PHP Version : 4.3.10
No valid SSL on this Host,
(reverse ip tool requires free login)
Server Type: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP-CGI/0.1b
67.18.73.90 (ARIN & RIPE IP search)
(The site was hacked in the past, but I was not the administrator then, I have bought the domain recently, this information is a new hosting for the domain)
Is there anything I can do to protest the data?
