• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Can anyone shed some light on why my Plesk servers are constantly compromised? We have identical servers on the same network with the same basic configuration without Plesk that are never touched.

They keep getting these damn remote access hacks installed. We've got anti-virus and the firewall enabled and the hacks actually modify the firewall to give themselves internet access.

We can't figure out what it is that's allowing these things in but we can only assume it's something to do with Plesk since it's only our plesk boxes that have these problems. It's happening with Plesk 7 and 7.5.
 
Only things I can think of off the top of my head is that the hacker has some piece of information specific to those servers...server name, IP address, NIC hardware address, etc. just to mention a few possibilities.

How did you discover they were hacked?
