tagomago Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi, I have a problem with a virus/stroke hacker on my site. One of the SQL tables used in my website it getting junk comments added into it. It is not entered using my website as the values do not follow the standard pattern. I have tried deleting all the comments, changing the password on the SQL database, and changing any login information. I have also tried using a different table but junk comments (similar to spam mail) were added into the table straight away. Is there anything I can do about this?

wolstech Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Update your software and any plugins for it. You likely have an SQL injection issue somewhere. You might also consider replacing your comment system with something else if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagomago Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Do you mean software on the server or on my machine? I am just using a text-editor for php code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 If you made it yourself, you likely didn't secure it properly. You need to research into how to protect against SQL injection. I highly recommend though that you use an off the shelf solution instead of making it yourself if you don't know what you're doing. Inserting garbage data is the least of worries, they often could just as easily read other data or delete it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAKSH101 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Or if you don't want to write or rectify codes you can simply use disqus.com's comment system. It's easy to setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
