Hacked By An0n 3xPloiTeR And 8B0K3N H34R7 Team Pak Cyber Ghosts [P.C.G], main message screen with running footer 1
This hack suspended the hosting account and the web site as a malware infected account. The hack set up a malware attack for anyone who visited the site, specifically targeting Windows. I am still trying to figure out how they got in, This is a Pakistani-based attack, or so their message says. I’ll try to document as much as I can to help others in the same situation.
It is always warming to see the two Chinas, the PRC and Taiwan, getting along. Today they ganged up and tried to break into my site.
60.217.64.210 s China Unicom Shandong, level 10 risk, malware Spam Zero-Day
60.248.0.230 s Hinet Chunghwa Tel Taiwan, known for bots and infected zombie computers
183.167.228.134 s Chinanet Anhui, level 10 risk, malware Spam Zero-Day
218.21.43.238 s Dou shi-BAR Yin chuan Ningxia, level 10 risk, malware Spam Zero-Day
The last one, from Ningxia, looks surprisingly small as compared to the usually huge number of IP addresses for Chinanet or China Unicom, but they are part of Chinanet Ningxia, which is large.
This guy hn.kd.ny.adsl seems innocent enough, until I tried to look him up, only to find no positive IP address. Others have posted that they, too, cannot find his IP address in order to ban him. Hmmm, let me track him down.
This hacker is prolific in that he rarely repeats the third octet, making it harder to ban by a narrower range. You’ll need to go up to the second octet to cover his IP ranges. He uses predominantly China Unicom Henan. Only once did he go to China Unicon Fujian, which might just be an outlier data point.
midex.zomro.com scrapes my site for awstat tags. I do not know why, and they do it multiple times. It is very annoying.
There is a ransomware listing for crasher121.zomro.com 93.170.169.52. There are other comments such as “109.248.33.212 is involved in malware incidents, spamming activity, ssh attacks, ddos” so caution is required. I did not research zomro.net, as I do not know if the .com and .net sites are related.
Damn I was infected by the Pharma hack yet again. While my web site content was without error, page titles into Google were being hacked, appearing as if I was flogging pharmaceuticals. I assure you that I do not do this. Google stated that my site might be infected, yet in Google Webmaster Tools they saw no malware and there were no fetch errors. This time I found four offending files and two offending SQL table entries. Here’s what I found and how I found them.
