Paid on delivery
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.
Regards,
