I wish I would have recieved an email or something about this this morning. I logged on and had large HACKED pages on all of my sites and didn't know what to do. I tried contacting your online chat support (which said it was "online") and kept getting sent to a page to send an email instead. I tried your tech support page but only got the same HACKED page there too so I went looking for help elsewhere. I managed to get one of my blogs working correctly for a little while by following directions to re-upload my index file, but that never did work on my MAIN blog. I tried uploading a clean index.php file many times and it never would clear the HACKED page. On one attempt I uploaded the index.php to the public_html folder by mistake and now my site is just a blank white page. I've submitted a tech support email about it and hope that I can get that fixed somehow. The moral of my story is that at 7:30am CST, when all of this was going on, I wouldn't have touched anything if I'd been notified that you guys had it under control or even that you knew about the issue. I was under the impression from the lack on info that I was going to have to TRY to fix it myself.
Have to ditto Jenny. I woke up to about a dozen frantic emails and then the scary "hacked" on both of my websites hosted here. Could not access cPanel, could not get through to customer support, sent email, etc. THEN I saw the small message in the corner of the Hub website that lead me to this message. Could have saved lots of time.
Plus, where are the updates? What is happening? More info would be nice. I have gotten one report from a person who thinks they were attacked with a malware after going to one of my websites. This needs to be tracked and announced as well.
Please keep us informed!

Have to agree with both posters. The lack of communication from your team has made this even more difficult to deal with. I waited on the phone for 50 minutes only to find this small system announcement in AMP.
Do you have any updates on the status?
So, as I understand it...my website will be restored and I don't have to do anything to restore it, right?

This just shows the importance of backing up your own files. Had all of my sites back up in about 2 minutes

This is getting ridiculous. I found out very quick this morning when it happened because i was updating a clients page. As we speak I am losing money. ALOT of money. This looks awful for me because i convinced my customers that webhostinghub was a reliable and secure place to host their sites. We understand human garbage gets their rocks off with this stuff, but your response to this has been disappointing to say the least. I never got through to the "24/7" phone support nor the live chat. Only now did i see the tiny announcement. Even if you do fix this what is going to be done to prevent this in the future? How can I rely on you to host my sites? Will anyone be compensated for their losses? We pay for a service and I feel we are not getting very LITTLE information on a very BIG problem.

I am not sure whether you are being sarcastic or not. I back up as well, but how can I, or anyone, get the site back up when I cannot access the cPanel or anything. Not everyone is a tech wiz, which is why we have hosting services that take care of these things.
If you were not being sarcastic and have a viable solution, please share.

Hi,
I had 8 wordpress sites on this hub hosting account with this hack.
I went to another hosting account and copied the index.php file from that and uploaded it to all of my hub hacked WP sites. And that fixed all. Be sure to change the permissions back to 644 the hacked file is changed to 755.
The index.php file in wordpress is generic and should work on any WP installation the normal size is 397 all the hacked index.php files are much larger. I zipped it and uploaded it to here if anyone needs a clean index.php file.
www.rolexon.com/index-php.zip
So use FTP and overwrite the hacked index.php and make sure the permissions are reset to 644 and that will fix your WP instalation. All my data bases were OK

What was the point of me providing this service with contact information if no one was ever going to contact me when a big problem occurred?
An email stating the nature of the problem would have been nice.

For now, use Filezilla, access your site via ftp. If you don't have a back up, then search for the files called hacked_page. Then delete them, this worked for the one section of my site that i didnt have backed up. Now to go through to find any other damages.....

I was not being sarcastic, you can download a free ftp program and be able to restore your site without the control panel, admittedly this is beyond some peoples technical ability. However it is not really that difficult and may be something anyone with a site that needs to be up should look into.
1. Download free ftp software
2. Delete index.php on server
3. Upload backup of your index file.
Done

I backed up most of index.php files but I can't restore some of them because they are installed packages such as simplemachine forum and gallery. I really need your quick action to restore my sites asap. I even paid for the backup service. Thanks.

So is it best to wait for HUB to fix our hacked sites if we are not Tech Savey?? All the pages on my site are working except the page with the forum which operates on SMF software. That pages says "Server has been Hacked"..

Hi JLink,
We're currently working on restoring all compromised files. I haven't received word yet that the Systems Team has completed this yet, so if you're not sure what to do, hopefully our Systems Team will be able to fix your site soon.
Do you by chance have a backup of your site?
Thanks,

Pretty lame that we didn't get email notification of this problem from webhostinghub.com. I thought it was just my site until I Googled "Tiger M@TE" and saw how much chaos was going on.

After another 2 hour and 47 minutes have passed since your latest announcement at 1 PM but my website is not restored yet. I paid the backup service so you have my files. I would like to hear from you, Brad.

I mostly don't have index.php files but rather index.html files.
Here's how the hack was done with me:
1. My index.html file for the home page was erased and the ugly index.php hack file was uploaded instead.
2. In every first-level folder directory under Public_html, the ugly index.php file was uploaded but if I had an index.html file in that folder, it wasn't erased.
I restored my home page and I've mostly deleted all the bad index.php files now.
I really hope that webhostinghub keeps us updated on any other files we need to erase or restore.
But even more importantly, I wish they'd sent out e-mails and warnings and all sorts of red flags earlier, so that we would know this was a general issue and not get panicky.

Of course, it seems working because I quickly restored the damaged parts. However, the menu is not working properly. Moreover,what I am concerning is the forum and the photo gallery. They are the installed packages so I don't have the backups. That's why I paid the service.
I temporarily changed the index.php but you gotta restored them. http://www.ewhadcchapter.org/forum/

Both my websites are up - thank you - and I can access the Wordpress dashboard. And I can get into my Hub account page. However, I cannot get into my cPanel. I have cleared cache, restarted my computer, changed the password several times, but nothing works.
Any further suggestions? I still cannot get through to a tech support person on chat.

Hope it is done till tomorrow morning.

Don't make a comment that "Currently, you should not see defacement on your site...." when you aren't through - my site still has the hacked page and I have cleared my cache.
I changed to you for my personal websites to evaluate you for a business partner to run their business websites. Suffice it to say it will be difficult to choose you, your support posts are incorrect and infrequent and your security obviously can't be trusted.

I re uploaded my site, but cannot send emails. Does this have something to do with the hacking? I get this message: Task 'koonz@geoblox.com - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC78) : 'Cannot send the message. Verify the e-mail address in your account properties. The server responded: 550 Access denied - Invalid HELO name (See RFC2821 4.1.1.1)'
Where are my account properties? All I can find is a place to add a new email address.

I have replaced my index files several times and everything seems to be working correctly other than my main blog, which is the most important to me of all of them. I've replaced the index.php file in the themes folder many times and it NEVER got rid of the "hacked" page. Currently my main page is blank white, because I accidentally uploaded the clean wordpress index.php file into the main public_html folder and it overwrote whatever that index file was supposed to be and I can't seem to locate a copy of it to be able to revert it back to what it should be. I had severaal windows open at the time frantically trying to figure out why reuploading the index.php was working for everyone but me and I mistakenly uploaded into the wrong window. If you could even point me in the right direction of where I can find that main directory index.php I'd appreciate it. I got two emails in response to MY email to you so far and they were both basically the same thing.

I can not believe the users that were affected by the hacking of WebHosting Hub's servers were NOT notified.
Nor has your 'automated fix' done a very good job of bringing websites back online. For mine, it appears no backup in your system was found, a scary thought, as most of the Wordpress installations on my hosting account were simply pointing to a directory of contents. Nor did your 'automated fix' go through other installed programs, even those installed via Fantastico de Luxe, such as PHPList, Piwik, etc.
[u]<strong>Very, very poor service!!!!</strong>[/u]

Wondering if they have found the fix for this? will this happen again, if not, how to be sure?
Seriously I thought that webhostinghub is secure enough and for that reason I have hosted couple of websites on it, after this tragedy I am thinking moving to more robust and secure sever somewhere else. I tried to contact them, using available services, but no go.
My advice to you:
- Inform you users to change their pwd
- Change your cpanel and phpmyadmin pwd
they might have also stolen your pwd.

Since yesterday I have been unable to send email. When I try it is rejected with the message:
550-"JunkMail rejected - (my host name)
([192.168.1.19])
Just to be clear, I replaced my computer's host name with "(my host name)" since it includes my IP address.
I find it suspicious that the IP address that follows my host name is a local IP address and presumably it's rejecting my mail because my host name's IP address doesn't match it.
I thought it might be a problem with my email authentication so I went into cPanel and disabled both DomainKeys and SPF but that didn't make any difference. It continued rejecting my email so I reenabled them.

I still can't get it. I have sent emails and been told they are working on it and will reset my password. I just have no clue if that will be today or a month from now or never. And still no ability to chat with a tech online.

cpanel still isn't working nor can I get into webmail. Passwords to cpanel seem to have been reset. At least ftp is still working. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I have been reading blogs and some have indicated that more than just the index.php was hacked. it would be great if WebHostingHub would let us know the extent of damage and what we need to do now.

See support ticket #36633
I have reset about a hundred times - and I am NOT exaggerating. Sent so many emails, have a support ticket open and unanswered, can't chat on line, etc.
I know you all are working hard on this, and I do appreciate the efforts and I do understand. But please do not be what, to me, sounds condescending by simply telling me to "reset the password." I am admittedly not a techie but I do know at least that much!
Sorry, just a bit frustrated as well.

Hey everyone, I don't know if you have found the fix for this on your own yet, but the same thing happened to two of my users here at work yesterday. I found that for some unknown reason, under outgoing mail settings, the "My Outgoing Server (SMTP) Requires Authentication" check box had become UNchecked. This did NOT happen to me, I might add. To fix this in Outlook, go to: TOOLS > ACCOUNT SETTINGS > EMAIL ACCOUNT NAME, double-click on the account in question, click on "MORE SETTINGS" in the lower-left corner. Then click the "OUTGOING SERVER" tab at the top of the Internet Email Settings page. Re-check the "My Outgoing Server (SMTP) Requires Authentication" check box, and click OK. Restart Outlook, and you should be good to go. Hope this Helps

checking (SMTP) Requires Authentication" check box and re starting Outlook worked for me.
Thanks as no one from HUB has gotten back to me about it.

I'm still having serious email problems. The error message from Outlook says "unable to logon to outgoing mail server (SMTP)"
I have the box checked for outgoing server (STMP)requires authentication.
I'm using the correct password, I'm using the correct port.
Any ideas are welcome.
I'm still having serious email problems. The error message from Outlook says "unable to logon to outgoing mail server (SMTP)"
I have the box checked for outgoing server (STMP)requires authentication.
I'm using the correct password, I'm using the correct port.
Any ideas are welcome.
This is bazarre... I had another user with the same problem, but this has not yet happened to me. Carmen, am I correct in assuming that you have not touched any of your settings prior to this issue?

That's right, Upperme@wildblue. Yesterday, I reset passwords to cPanel and mail account. After making the password changes, I struggled to figure out which password belonged in the Outlook account setup. It's the mail account password - I'm assuming. Today, in addition to not being able to send, Outlook is not receiving either.
In the meantime, I'm using Horde(webmail)it's letting me read but not send. So now I now need to figure out how to setup Horde....

Hi SharonL,
I see from your account notes that our Support Team was able to help with the cPanel password issue.
If you are having any further issues, please do let us know. I apologize for the delay in response, but we are more than happy to help.
For others that are having similar issues logging into their cPanel, please let me know so that I can contact you individually for further assistance, as unfortunately the password reset option within AMP has been temporarily disabled for security reasons.
Thanks,
- Brad

Please be sure that you have SMTP authentication checked in your email client. If you do and you haven't net, please restart your email program and then test again.
