My web server got hacked!

hackerA few mails later,  they told me some hacker installed and IRC server in my server, and also my server was part of a big DOS attack. Yeah!

After paying a $50 fine I got the opportunity to have the old HD hooked up into a new server so I could grabbed what was left of it.These things happen when you don’t have enough money to buy a managed server.  You constantly  remind yourself to keep up with all the updates … yeah right! :-)

Now I am in paranoid mode, I  shutdown all the open source solutions that I had: phpBB forums, wordpress blog, and I am reprogramming everything myself! Hope it doesn’t take much to do it
