Hi what was this list of compromised sites, it would be useful if we could check our own sites out if Namesco carry on not letting anyone know. Do you have a link for the black list your contact gave you?

Yes we have recently discovered (2 July) that two of our sites have been hacked again. We only discovered it when a contact told us that our home page was appearing on a black list of compromised sites.

Why don’t Namesco warn users about this? They must know when they haver been attacked, or is it continual?

If you’re using hosts as awful as namesco, then expect for things like this to happen.

They said the same last time this happened but from the number of visits my blog has had today plus the number of tweets about Namesco I do not think this is the case, it certainly wasn’t just a few last time.

It might be that it is only on the shared hosting part of the server and not the dedicated part of the server because a company I know has a dedicated server space on Namesco did not appear to be affected. Even so it still means their security was not up to scratch somewhere along the line.

Hi Gill,

Yes, I read your link. Namesco advising that an “unusual pattern had developed on a very small number of websites hosted on our Linux shared cluster” but that they dealt with this issue. Watch this space, as you quite rightly say!

They will be so stressed – did you see my link to the WordPress comment on the whole fiasco, interesting points they made. Oh well lets hope they all learn from this.

Hi Gill,

Thanks for that. I can access phpMyAdmin now with no problems directly. Still not had any communication from Namesco regarding my earlier emails. I’m guessing I won’t be the only one they will be having to reply to!

I couldn’t agree more. WordPress are I think suggesting its Namescos fault for poor security. But what really gets me is Namesco’s awful communication.

I had the same thing happen. Namesco are useless. I didn’t even have WordPress on this site (yet – thankfully!) – just an html file.

Useless, useless company.
