  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Issue Suspect server compromised

PatrickSG

New Pleskian
I have a Windows Server running Plesk 12 with MailEnable, I suspect my server is being compromised as it is sending out spam and the log shows that the spams are from 127.0.0.1.

I run a virus scan and it found no virus.

Is there a way to trace and find out the issues?

I have changed the Windows server administrator password, I notice there are some accounts created by Plesk (IME_ADMIN, IMS_USER, Plesk Administrator), can i reset the password for those accounts as well? So that I can eliminate the possibilities of those accounts being compromised?

Thanks.

Patrick
