Greetings,
Sadly, my first post is about getting hacked. Some jerk found a way in through my firewall and zipped and encrpted all the important files. They did not get beyond the web server, but they did kill the server. I ran all sorts of stuff on the rest of the network and checked the log files (I use webroot) and I see no malware or viruses anywhere.
So good news - they got stopped. Bad news, they did some damage. Here is my question - is there something in DNN that would allow this? I am almost certain that it was due to an old unused web service that they used as an entrance. But I can't tell without messing with the server.
So, what if any issues would DNN allow? Also, to confirm I have the firewall rule set to port 443 only - that is the correct firewall setting to allow external access?
9.2.3? I know it is atleast 9.2.
If it's an upgraded version of dnn, it can also be that vulnerable components like FCK editor (DNN4/5) or RAD editor (6?) were not uninstalled. Or if you were using older versions of extensions like some of the DNNGo modules and skins that's an option too.
