I would suspect that the administrative or Root password had been compromised. A malware program could have been installed. A trojan could have been downloaded via email. The possiblities are endless on 'how' the program got installed and by whom. Ensure that your operating system has all security patches installed, boarder routers are inplace with appropriate security settings, administrative passwords are never used remotely even if you believe that pp2p, 3des, or any other pipe encryption really keeps you secure.
As posting late .. if you could advise the o/s that you are using I might be able to provide you some additional pointers. You might want to ensure, if you are talking about stat.com, that your IMail server has good active virus scanning software and also that you close your telnet port access from the outside (wan). ~Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Dodell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Rick Leske" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 10:47 PM Subject: Re[2]: [IMail Forum] xscan? > Wednesday, March 5, 2003, 9:31:11 PM, Rick Leske wrote: > > > http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/db/x/xscan.asp > > > but all in all I would assume the server had been compromised and perform a > > fresh/fdisk/format reinstall of the o/s and applications. > > That's all fine and good, but it still doesn't help to tell me how > they are getting in and what I need to prevent it from reoccurring. ___________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
