Dont want to scare you but keep in mind that you now exported sites from a 
hacked machine

It is possible that the backdoorscript was installed on a site so them the 
script is now installed on the new machine

(it happend to me once)

 

So have a very close look at all your sites on this server

Sort on install dates etc to see if something strange  is there

 

If you can access the logs of the old machine then thats the best place to start

Look at the apache and ftp logs to begin

 

Good luck

Yes you are both right.

 

I have just finished the imports To the new vm machine

 

One should never under estimate the ingenuity of hackers and script kiddies

 

I speak from experience.  

 

We couldn't leave the machine as it was, in a perceived compromised position.  
So in has been cmuExport'ed

I will look through the logs see If I can see a problem and then delete the 
original vm machine.

 

Thanks to all for your help!

I completely agree with Chris - the backdoor that was used to gain access in 
the first place may still be there.  Plus, any rootkits installed are still 
there.  THAT is a dangerous situation. 

I'd recommend keeping that box off-line while you do cmuExports of all sites.  
Build a new box and cumImport them all into that new box.  Before you import - 
make sure that the new box is fully up-to-date to minimize vulnerabilities.  

And after importing everything/getting it working - make a complete box backup 
before putting it back on line.  That way, you've got a emergency restore in 
case it happens again.  After all - the vulnerability/exploit may have been in 
something in one of those sites.  And as soon as you put it back on line - this 
could happen again. 

I'd wait till after I got the box and sites back up - but you need to carefully 
check the logs to see if you can spot how this happened.  If not - you're just 
putting that rebuilt box out there and crossing your fingers that it doesn't 
happen again.
