The mentioned Stokia article says it was a Windows/IIS issue. RottGutt is on Linux/Apache.

Right... I had updated my last post to the fact that it was probably his hosting service.

There's a pretty big thread at Lunarpages with a bunch of sites that were hacked yesterday on a couple of their servers.

Not a DF issue then and this can be locked/moved.

After looking at the Lunarpages.com forum thread about this issue I want to officially take back my original statement about the security of the DragonFly CMS. My apologies on my obvious premature statement.

No problem - you had to assume the worst

Regrettably it's one of the problems that goes with shared servers, which is why we are also cautious in accepting Dragonfly is the cause on a shared server.

i would dump that host in a hurry

Seems always that is the answer. But it also seems that all servers have some kind of vulnerability.
Take this sight as an example.

It's not a matter of which host but when it will happen.

I'm sure most hosts do all they can to work on security, why would they want their servers hacked? It makes their job harder too.

You could very easily get hacked through someone elses site on a shared server. If one person on a shared surver is insecure then it makes all the other site insecure.
