Okay so I just discovered this morning that Media Temple has been hacked bigtime! After receiving an email from them detailing that my FTP/SSH password had been reset due to suspicious activity, I did a little googling and discovered I am not an isolated case. Many people just got the same email! So I attempted to connect via FTP to several different MT hosted sites I’ve developed, each with their own MT account and CAN’T CONNECT TO ANY OF THEM!

Yesterday I received a phone call from a client because he said their site was down. After inspecting the index.php file, I discovered some extra php script injected into the top and bottom of the source code. This caused some suspicion yesterday but now I know that all of this is a Media Temple problem. I’ve read that they store their passwords in plain text in a database…

Happy Thanksgiving!
