Software Channels

Yesterday all alarm bells started ringing, when a file on tradebit was modified, while I was not logged in! And it was the second real hack we saw on the system, utilizing Wordpress as an entry into the system.

While using Open Source products can save a lot of time, it also can represent a real danger for your pages. We have been very lucky, that the hacker was not deleting anything, just placing some hidden links in the pages and that we found the glitch. Do update your software packages from time to time, to avoid such attacks.
