  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Exploring possible hack. Can't access pre 01-01-13 log files?

New Pleskian
I think our server has been hacked.

Plesk 10 control panel admin password had changed the account profile details: Name address, user name etc has been changed. I'm a newbie admin and new here, but I'm trying to review the log files to see if I can see any issues and who accessed when.

The problem is when I do settings | action log | dates .... and I try and change the year to 2012 to see what happend in December, for trends, the year field won't go back to 2012.

1. How can I look back into 2012?
2. What do I need to look for to see if we have had anything neanderthal done to the server!

I have reset our Virtuoso root password and our Plesk panel password (differnet ones)

The Jan log says ....

212.183.128.124 www.www.onmydoorstep.co.uk:8880 - [20/Jan/2013:13:27:32 +0000] "GET /javascript/promo-flags.js.php HTTP/1.1" 200 83 "http://www.www.onmydoorstep.co.uk/" "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 6_0_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/10A523"

but this doesn't look malicious - I think?
 
If there is no records for 2012 year in the log - it's not available in the list. You can check it in the database:
# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow ` psa -e 'select MIN(date) from log_actions;'

| MIN(date) |
