Root.exe

by jdurbin . Updated 25 years, 1 month ago

Has anyone been hit with a root.exe file on their web server? I had this file placed in the inetpub folder and executed.. It put a lot of default.asp, htm, index.asp & htm through this folder. When you open these file in notepad, it’s “…. the US government.. Any ideas on how to stop someone from getting into this folder. It doesn’t appear that someone FTP the file b/c I don’t see a listing in my ftp log. I found it listed in the default site log. Just a heads up to see if anyone else got hit.
