New SuperUser appairs

Post by cral » Wed Dec 23, 2015 1:31 pm

Hi,

A few weeks ago I found a new superuser that should be there. I blocked the user, but I didn't follow up due to too much other things going on.

When entering the site yesterday I saw a new super user, made a few days ago.

Both users have been made with email adresses from the local domain name.

Open for ideas.

Regards

Carl

First make your joomla offline
Then go at Users-manage-options
and Allow User Registration-No
New User Registration Group-registered
Then check what is this folder tempcs which have 777.Usually there is a tmp folder. All folders must have permissions 755 , files 644 and configuration.php 444 .
Transfer your joomla in your pc and scan it with a good antivirus.
After update your joomla to the latest version and your third party extensions and always be up to date.
Also don t forget to change password.
Also you can use an extension to protect your administrator area http://extensions.joomla.org/category/a ... e-security

Ok, downloading the site now.

and Allow User Registration-No
New User Registration Group-registered

These settings was like this.

Found a folder called .htpasswds with a php file called iso-clock.php inside.

This file don't seems to be part of the orginale joomla installation?

The tempcs folder is deleted.

I would check your plugin /keyscaptcha/ ... note the "s" in the name is not present in the real one. During a remediation of a hacked Joomla site for a client our investigation and analysis found that one particular hack on the site that we were working on occurred Dec. 18th 2015 and some of the files in the /keyscaptcha/ had the exact same time-stamp and on further investigation this particular plugin does not look legitimate.
