thanks, I sent a message to the isc.sans.org via their webpage.

The only accounts on the machine are local accounts however, some of those 
accounts (IIS accounts) had administrator access group assignment.

this is a server built by a vendor years ago so I'm not sure I can rebuild it 
here. What I'll do is talk with them concerning the accounts and required 
groups and password changes and see if we can do it that way... if not they'll 
have to rebuild it.

thanks Andrew and Matt for replying, bob

Bob, drop an email to the handler on duty at http://isc.sans.org/ for
some general advice.  They may also have some specific reference to
point you to regarding a vulnerability or they may recognize the modus
operandi of what you saw.  I don't recognize it, myself.

Generally speaking, your best bet is to take that machine offline and
rebuild it from known good sources.

Re: [Declude.Virus] the ebay spoof spam stuff

Bob,

If they had a folder on a desktop, you have to assume that your server 
was hacked, rooted, and your account was exploited.  The safest thing to 
do would be to change all of your administrative passwords everywhere on 
your network, and rebuild that server from a formatted disk.  You could 
of course try to save the installation, but I have seen many such 
servers re-hacked and that suggests that being rooted is more common 
than not.  Firewalling everything that isn't absolutely necessary is 
also very wise, and may have prevented this in the first place.


They probably made their way in through some OS, service or scripting 
hack.  Common targets of phishers is often any tool that allows uploads 
of one form or another such as content management systems/wiki's or 
discussion boards.  For instance, PHP-Nuke is a favorite, and anything 
that comes with a control panel hosting environment.


Lots of luck,

Matt

The only things I found was the htm page that was referenced in the spam e-mail 
and a folder on the desktop named sign in_files with the images associated with 
the page.

I want to keep it from happening again.
