Someone hacked my website this weekend. I noticed it yesterday just before I left work. Best I can tell is somehow the permission on the root directory of my web server were set to allow everyone write access. Luckily whoever did it simply overwrote the main page index.html file with their tag and moved on. It appears that none of my other content was messed with. I restored the main page index from a backup and changed all my passwords and double checked that all sub-directories are read access only for public users. Any other suggestions on how to increase the security of my web server would be greatly appreciated.
website,
not funny
