Spyware and Badware Attack of Websites

[usaonlinecasino]

In last 2~3 months, many of my sites were attacked by spyware/badwere, which resulted in access problem or redirection of web pages. Anybody else has encountered the similar problem?

Avoiding measures are warmly welcome.

I've had one site getting hit regularly, although I think I've managed to stop it now.

It's really worth registering your site with Google Webmaster Tools. As soon as they spot anything malicious on the site, it gets flagged up to you. However, they do pull your rankings until you've sorted out the problem. It only takes a few hours for them to remove the malicious code notice after you tell them you've fixed the problem.

Do you know how they are getting in?

Do you have weak passwords?

Have you looked at your logs or talked to your host?

There is no idea of how they attacked the server. PW is not easy to guess out. No reply has come to the point from the hosting company execpt warning me to keep my account details safely.

Sites were redirected to "xtcstats.in" or a Russian domain name. An iframe code was added to all index (default, home, or main) page in main directory and all sub-folders. The pages were updated one day or two as well. It seems the automatic update. After carefully checking, no script or code file were found. But after trying to delete the cgi-bin folder, the automatic redirection was stoped.

It's terrible to spend the time to delete and re-upload the infected pages.

Lucky that you guys do not have the problem.
