HaCkEd ??
Most people are un-anware they have been hacked until Google lists them as a malicious site!
I have had the dubious honour of having cleaned and de-infected over 140 osCommerce sites that have been hacked over the last few months, if this is you then I can help you, if you think you have been hacked, or would like a site survey carried out on your site, please contact me.
The signs of being hacked normally demonstrate themselves so there is no room for doubt, your store stops running as it should, your orders reduce, customers stop visiting, Google and Fire Fox begin to tell users there is a problem with your site and they should not visit you!

The signs of being hacked normally demonstrate themselves so there is no room for doubt, your store stops running as it should, your orders reduce, customers stop visiting, Google and Fire Fox begin to tell users there is a problem with your site and they should not visit you!
Warning errors from your store, files fail to load, 500 Server errors, in some cases customers begin to report to you that their credit cards have been used fraudulently and you were the last shop they used it on.
You may have additional admin’s in your database that you have not added, extra files in you fileset you have not added, rogue code in your files, the list goes on and on.
This costs you , lost sales, lost visitors, loss of money, loss of time repairing the store.
If you have not yet been hacked then you need to act now, and get yourself secure.
I applaud you for not getting hacked however if you have not got yourself secure then it is only a matter of time until you get at least an attack to your site.
We are able to carry out security work on your site to prevent the chances of an attack turning to a successful attack, not matter if you have security or not you are at some point going to be the victim of an attempt, this is not personal to you, it is a robot or scripted attack that scours the internet 24 / 7 searching for a venerable site, at this point once access is gained your site will be seeded or in layman’s terms malicious code is injected into your site, next phase is to add more code in the form of Trojans, redirects, setting up of phishing pages once these people have control it is easy for them to do what they want to. Some eval base64 hacks will infect every single php file on your server account, so if you have blogs or forums installed then these too will get infected, and require cleaning.
If you want to go it alone then I suggest you update your core code, unlike some others who say you must upgrade to version 2.3.1 of osCommerce in fact, you do not have to as long as the code is upgraded. Other items you need to take into account …
· You always have a recent clean back of your entire public_html / htdocs folder.
· You use htaccess protection for admin and not rely on the stock osC login page
· Remove the filemanager and define_languages files (not so necessary if you HTACESS protect your admin)
· Protect empty folders with an index, htaccess, or with options all indexes in your htaccess
· Install my IP Trap
· Install an add on to prevent query string attacks to your site
· Beef up your main htaccess file.
· Completely make sure your file and folder permissions are set correctly
· Add htaccess to your images folder to prevent php / cgi / .exe files from running
· Stay alert to any problems
· Use a module for monitoring your files, I know of two and both are excellent.
