T-bird messed up again 3 day!

[a1nerd]

At amost exactly 2:00am p.s.t 4-7-05 after a very long day of me trying to get my site fully back up it happened again! T-bird was messing up everything on my site and directing people to download trojans. I am very angery and i need my site moved to a different server a.s.a.p...

We got more information on it. The site causing the problem was a different reseller. So I thought of something...

Only relation the two sites could have would be if their username and password matched sure enough they did.

Basically the problem keeps happening from non thinking resellers who like to give username the same as the password. There are probably 20 or so sites on the server that have the same username as password. so if username is cat they would make the password cat.

We are bruteforcing all the passwords on the server to see which ones are easily cracked. If this cracks it.. it would take any moderately decent script kiddie or hacker seconds to crack.. plus you'll be suprised how many passwords are "password"

We'll be contacting all of these sites and fixing their passwords.

I want off of that server. I already emailed sales@hostgator.com as requested by phone support. I am not going to take any chances.
