pleask-passwords
I am but a consumer buying space for personal websites.I'm not mentioning the host and won't because I'm not yet angry with them.
I was hit by a hacker at a couple of my sites I still had at FREE places (hypermart-virtualave).They sacked the sites...or more appropriate left THEIR version of the website.Like entries into perl scripts for web-based utilities where a username/password would be sent to THEM every time the utility would be used.
I even got an email telling me I have to understand the hacker is supreme..the user at their mercy.(from hotmail..getting hotmail to look up origins?)
They also got into at least one of my Yahoo Email boxes.
After a few days of begging passwords were returned to me.
My first reaction was simply change passwords of my various web locations.
At one of my paid sites(not hypermart-va) I went into the pleask control panel and changed passwords for user and ftp passwords.I do not think the hacker bothered me here.
----but I went back and I can't get into pleask.I can't ftp with the site. Password/User no good.(I wrote down my changes) Oddly it let me in once and then not again....
I ask the webhosting service if they can dig up my user/password for that pleask thing...reply...we don't know it.....
So if it be perhaps no fault of mine I can never use the site again during my subscription period?
ya know...first case of somebody locked out by case of user/password no good?
