4images hacked three times last year, how to prevent?
« on: January 29, 2007, 07:16:41 PM »
I got hacked again!! installed all security patches.
The problem is that all content from the database has been erased, there is no picture left.
I use 1.7.1
How to prevent hacks? how to protect your database from malicious people?

Help is needed as i'm no expert on database and php.

Many thanks

Hi,

did you install all security patches?
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?board=17.0

No --- then best way for you is 1.7.4 with new passwords for all (msql / admin/ webspace )
yes -- new passwords for all (msql / admin/ webspace )  :wink:

Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
1. Forum rules
2. FAQ
3. Search

This is old topic but if gallery hack and need see what is miss (if have access to DB) - use this:

http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=20234.0

Diagnostic for compare CATEGORIES_TABLE, IMAGES_TABLE and data folder - if all is find. ;)
8 steps need when ask question -

- PHP version (ACP - > phpinfo())
- mySQL version (ACP - > phpinfo())
- 4images version
- Post screenshot / URL
- Post code in BB Code (no need full file for code) or post attach file
- It doesn't work. What is say - what is do for no work
- Install MOD ? If so - please say (troubleshooting)
- Read FAQ ? Install Bug fixes ?
