Viruses are fun and your FTP Password
In the past two weeks, one of our servers was infiltrated by a virus (malware) that causes problems with PHP files. You may wonder: how did this happen? There are two reasons it happened:
- The virus was new and our scanners did not pick it up and
- Some clients have very simple passwords for their FTP and control panel accounts.
Please make sure you use a complex password and change it every 60 to 90 days.
