    I have no idea why some doofus would want to hack this site, it’s unfinished and gets no visits, but he/she did it anyways.

    I recently noticed a directory with a weird name on my root modx install. Running 1.0.4.

    Inside of the mysterious folder are 3 files: a .txt file, a .php file, and an error .log file.

    Could someone point me in the right direction as how to prevent this? I know just deleting the folder probably won’t do much good.

    Also, could it be possible for my modx admin pw to be compromised? I use that pw on other sites that are hosted on same server.

    Msg me for the site url.

    Thanks! smiley

      What’s the name of the mysterious folder? Have you done any site upgrades in recent times?
