Hello,

I have a dedicated CentOS (linux) server with a cpanel(whm) and someone has comprised my websites located on this server. My server has various security features installed which i will name later. This is the error meesage the server returned right before the security hack:

"Your hostname ([login to view URL]) could not be

resolved to an IP address. This means that /etc/hosts is not set up

correctly, and/or there is no dns entry for

([login to view URL]) . Please be sure that the

contents of /etc/hosts are configured correctly, and also that

there is a correct 'A' entry for the domain in the zone file.

Some or all of these problems can be caused by /etc/[login to view URL]

being setup incorrectly. Please check that file if you believe

everything else is correct.

You may be able to automatically correct this problem by using the

'Add an A entry for your hostname' option under 'Dns Functions' in

your Web Host Manager."

Let me know if you are willing to help me solve my server issues.

I don't think your server hacked, such message can be sent by cpanel because of wrong hostname!
