Hi Everyone
My server host received this email and i was wondering if there is an expiry on V8 software.
I am running V8.5.3
Due to a recent system audit, we have found that one or more files on your domain roundstooldistribution.co.uk have been flagged as compromised, and pose a risk to your site content, data, and domain reputation.
To see a list of these files, FTP to your web space and check file: user/security_health_check.log.
As a responsible hosting provider, and in order to alleviate the risk to your site, we strongly suggest you take the following action as soon as possible:
· Ensure you have taken full backups of website data before proceeding
· Update to the latest version of the 3rd party software you are using on your site. Our 1-click installer* (available in your Fasthosts control panel) carries the latest versions of many popular solutions.
· Once the update is complete, you should re-instate your content, but NOT the system files
*If 1-click installer requires you to update your OS, please follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade before proceeding further.
Please be aware, we will be performing a further system scan at 09:00am (GMT) on Thursday 22nd August, and will automatically suspend your site should we find any compromised files still remain. Whilst this action is regrettable, it will only be taken as a last resort to protect you and the integrity of your site.
If you wish to avoid suspension, please take the above steps as soon as possible, and no later than the stated deadline
And this what I was sent informing me of the steps taken to avoid this, just wanted clarification that V8 isn't going out
I received the following email the other day (the log file they mention is attached). I have downloaded the files in question and scanned them with both Panda Antivirus and Malwarebytes and they came up clean. I have spoken to Fasthosts about this and they have assured me that this will be enough to avoid the suspension of your site. They are primarily aiming this at users of WordPress, Joomla, drupal and other content management systems where the owner has not updated the software.
I can’t rule out the possibility in future that they could take a similar view towards old versions of Actinic, so you should perhaps give some thought to updating in the not too distant future.
