  • VPS Hacked/Compromised.

    Hi.
    I just happened to be checking my services and found something that shouldn't be there, "Windows Boot Loader", referring to a file called bootwin.exe in System32.
    I checked the file using an online scanner, and it seemed to think it was a RootKit of some kind.
    I found this: http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=41f28d7b60522b02a45d8fab27080d03
    It seems to match all the files I found, which have the same date-created, Sunday, 31st January 2010, at 10:52 pm.

    The scariest of them all is a file called info.txt in C:\Windows\System32\ras\
    The contents is here:

    There seems to be very little information about this Virus/Trojan/Whatever, other than it's quite recent.

    Most importantly, I have no idea how it got in. There are no relevant entries in any log, which makes me think it could be a vulnerability in Windows.

    Hi,

    Indeed the VPS appears to be hacked/rootkit'd severely. As far as I know, there are no such known vulnerabilities in the current MS OS which would have caused a breakdown upto this level.

    Either the administrator password must have been compromised through which the hacker must have entered the VPS or a virus/trojan resulted into this backdoor.

    Please open up a ticket with our support dept so we can have this case investigated/studied properly & precautionary actions taken as necessary.

    A complete/clean reinstall is recommended at this stage.
    Kind regards,
    Jack Daniel.

      Good morning,

      I have just check my VPS to see if I was infected and I am not, (Hyper V-VPS Win 200.

      So its looks like you are one of the "lucky ones" and it is not on all of the servers, VPS or real.

      bye

      Ian
