phishing attack. Where do I start the cleanup?
- by Suz
I'm a newbie webmaster. I've got a domain and a site... and no clue about the web (I'm OK with files and programs... )
I got a message from google that my site is a possible phishing site, with a link the the suspect page:
http://www.mydomain.com/~phishers/Paypal/us/Confirm.php
needless to say, I didn't put that up.
Can someone point me to a good tutorial on what to do now?
I'd like to figure out what happened so I can defend against it the next time around. How do I identify what kind of attach this is?
Also, what is the tilde doing in the URL path? I couldn't find any path like this on my hosting account, so I'm not entirely sure how to delete it.
