Interesting observation!
I wanted to change someithing in the code and contacted you for help in order to get details of the relevant file. You have asked me for my cpanel details and other credentials which I have provided.

Nobody else knows them by the way.

a few days later my website was hacked/penetrated and now I am having the biggest problem even with malware. All the malware urls lead to Indonesia. Is this where you guys are based?

Im not saying you have done it, but what a coincidence.

I am making further investigation, if it transpires that its you somehow leaked the credentials, I am going to make it public. This is killing my business and someone has to pay for it.
Where did you include your site details? Did you post it on a public ticket or a private ticket?

Some users actually posted their site access on a public ticket without knowing and until we open your ticket to remove these details, some other users might already seen it.

Also, passwords which are stored in the relevant password fields are encrypted. Nobody knows the algorithm for the encryption but myself The only way anyone can decode the password is me unless you store your password in a different field other than the password field.

I hope it is secure giving you the credentials, but it appears that we have also been hacked, due to outdated software.

So too early to blame you.

Anyway, thatnks for clarifying.

No problem Vlad To be safe, make sure your passwords are only stored in the "Password" area in either of the following areas:

1. http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site (Recommended as you only need to do this once.)
2. When you post a new question / edit a question
