suspicious files on server
Recently my dedicated server went down and i had to reboot it to get it back online.I asked server admin people to check the reason of the same and they said :
We have found files on your machine that appear to be owned by 'root' which is signs of compromise. We highly recommend you submit an OS Reload request for to further correct the issue, as there might be miss-leading processes running that are malicious in nature.
