Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
General information for the website: www.charmoffensive.org.uk
Kind of development: Customization of existing website
Description of requirements/features: we have become aware that the site charmoffensive.org.uk appears to have been compromised through some kind of insecure/vulnerable script running on the site and is sending out large volumes of unsolicited e-mails.
You need to investigate this issue urgently and audit the site and the scripts running on it.
We have done a quick scan of the site and this scan has identified the following potentially malicious file:
/htdocs/includes/xtyhk8bb.php
The most likely cause of a compromise of this nature is if one or more scripts you are running on your website are insecure or found to be vunerable to attack across the Internet.
As the site appears to be using Wordpress you may need to update this to the latest version and update any addons or plugins or themes that the site uses as well.
