Hi,

I posted about the below issue yesterday, following is the follow-up from
tech support. Are they saying the server was hacked? Is there anything I can
do on my end, or does this sound like their problem?
 

When I try to visit the site I get this strage error message: php-engine:
   

file /home/k/h/user191796/html/myAdmin/index.php has incorrect uid/gid for
effective uid 51 (2116/2116)
 

Or, the browser (IE 6 with latest update) displays a file download
   

dialogue instead of displayng the page.
 

This site has worked completely fine for the past 6 months, so I'm sure
   

it's not the code. This just suddenly started happening late last night.
This seems like a server problem to me.
 

Sam

Sam Folk-Williams,
Thanks for contacting technical support.
Our engineers have determined that these issues are being caused by
   

malicious activity. This is being done by a footer being inserted into the
pages by IIS.  It is not actually modifying any of your code or compromising
any of your passwords. Due to the severity of this issue, we are directing
all available external and internal resources to minimize the impact to our
customers and to prevent future re-occurrences.
 

We are committed to continue working around the clock to resolve these
   

issues. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
 



 

Are you sure they have IIS running? the erro message you mentioned on 
top gives me a feeling its a *nix system?

could it be possible that they upgraded their system recently and 
screwed up something?
