    Hi Everyone.

    Last few days, I saw that my bandwith increase a lot. After that I got notification from Google Search Console that my website had bad links. Then I discover that someone hacked my root server and upload lot's of HTML files for sports streaming. I don't know how they do that. They create a folder name /video/ at my website and upload all files there. How they do that. 

    Here is my website : http://virginiasafaripark.com/ and the effect links like http://virginiasafaripark...-NCAA-Live-hq03.html . Can anybody figer out how they do that? Can you please check my website and tell me where is the bug or problem which are the reason of this hacking problem? 

     

    Thanks a in Advance.

          In that case there can be serveral methods how you got hacked.
          You should really clean up the site, reset passwords, check for extra added user accounts and upgrade to DNN 9.4.1 ASAP.
          DNN 7.0.0 is old and a lot of security issues have been fixed since.

              Sorry, but not really.

              First of all there are mutliple possibilites, and I could not see which one is used.
              My best guess it that it's the RAD editor, but I'm not sure. https://www.dnnsoftware.c...pdate--september2017
              Secondly security issues are not published in detail, not even to MVPs as that would mean they could get out in the open and used.
              So for most of the issues don't even know what the exact exploit is and if I would I would not post it in a forum.

              I hope you understand.

                  I think DNN 7.0.0 has some entry points too..
