    I have been called by the hosting company i use today.
    They said my website had been used by a spam bot network tonight and sended over 6000 mails.

    They could also see what file they had ben exploited.

    It was Assets/snippets/Reflect/snippet.reflect.php

    Via de GET method or something they could include some code and there send the mail from.

    I dont know exactly where the error is, but this is something you guys should know i thought.

      It is a known issue. I suggest you subscribe to MODx security notices in the future.

      The announcement is here:

      The biggest issue, is not with MODx, but with the setup on vulnerable sites. Only sites with register_global=on are vulnerable.
