Hmm I was experiencing similar problem that is exactly the same problem as I have forgot my password, and then tried to reset it, however now it is OK. However I though and assumes that this is in fact some sort of glitch in the trap17 script and so on.

I assume that this might have affected all those members who use trap17 to host their real files and web sites will have most problems. Eventhough everz member probably cares a lot about their security.

And thanks for info about this problem.

Also I would like to know whether it is possible that this guy is trying to hack into all system or he is targeting particular users. That is if webmasters and admins of trap17 are aware of intentions of this hacker and can he be traced.

Thanks for the warning and advice. I think I have to be extra careful of my hosting account and password from now on. One more thing is I hope the admin side can allow those affected to change their passwords right away without the need for hosting credits so that they can solve their problem asap.

Yes. Members who are affected by brute force FTP hacking can contact me ASAP so that I can regain their accounts.

I still see 8 accounts with yahoo.com.vn as their cpanel contact email address. This is the very hacker's email address that caused all this. Please check the contact email address in your cpanel if you already have not done so.

Jeez! Didn't even notice this topic until today... I was lucky though, that my account was not affected by this, probably due to a fact that I don't use dictionary words, and like to make my p4S5w0rDs a bit complicated

It appears to me, that the hacker wanted to use someones bandwidth, or something, to host those files found in that directory... I got curious (as I always do), and checked a whois on that domain... Here's what I got:

And, copied from AboutUs, containing this sites' description:



I suppose this guy (or girl, or many of them ) are trying to perform large scale bandwidth theft from Trap17 members, obviousely succeeding in that for a short period... Lucky for us we have such vigorous admins that keep an eye for us...

I would also join the appeal to disclose perpetrators IP's, in order to include them in my scripts, and effectively ban them from my websites, to prevent any future hassle with them...

Also, because of this, my password just doubled in length, so now, crackers would have about 12,401,769,434,657,526,912,139,264 combinations to go trough... So I guess, in about 39,325,752,900.35 years, they could reach the solution yay me...

Check these pages for some info on passwords... Calculate your password strength, and Calculate time needed to crack you password

Oh, I'm in the same situation. I've just noticed this. Fo tunately I haven't had any problem yet but I'm going to change my password right now just in case...

Also maybe good thing would be to place all the accounts that weere affected on certain list so people can check it out.

Well, I certainly would like to see whether I am on the list or not.

Ban Me Corp
The guy doesn't want to disclose his identity! But what's the use of having a domain name like 9xYenBai.Com??
Whoever can remember a name like that??

Even though he hacked my account, I can't remember his URL!!

But he was considerate not to delete my stuff. He just put his illicit MP3s in the ramaining space available in my account. Did he expect he won't get caught??
