DNN 7 Security Issue

Dear DNN Users,
I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar hack done to their DNN 7 site before (see image below)? My default.aspx in root folder also has text edits with porn links at bottom. I have upgraded to latest version of DNN. I have other websites in IIS without DNN installations and they do not seem to be affected - which leads me to believe this is a DNN hack similar to this tool (http://cybers-site.blogspot.ca/2011/0...) but as this appears to be an old issue I would have thought the latest DNN would have fixed this. The files are created ~weekly even after deletion. Any suggestions/tips on how to prevent this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Re: DNN 7 Security Issue

I doubt this is caused by DNN. What else do you have installed? Specifically provider type extensions like HTML editors...

also make sure, you are using a secure FTP password for your hosting site.

Re: DNN 7 Security Issue

Thank you very much for your prompt responses.

With regards to extensions, I pretty much have the stock DNN 7 install - no added extensions (ie. third party stuff).

I am using FTP over SSL (FTPS) for uploads.

Will try to slowly troubleshoot this. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Re: DNN 7 Security Issue

most likely, the files have not been uploaded using DNN.
