Seems like you are hosted on a server which has no security. Please let me know with which hosting company you are ?

Its the result of Recent Kernel Exploit issues. Get confirmed that you have latest & stable version of Kernel on your server from <b>kernel.org </b>

Server Security is the basic service that a web hosting company should provide. If there's no security for your website then your hosting company is a home based business managed by cowboys.
