Phew! I had to do this to use it, but I had a horrible suspicion.. Thanks for putting my mind at rest admin.

Ta Zip - it was only this one thing that was worrying me (apart from their email POP access being rubbish, that is..).

I'm not sure what to do with it.

You shouldn't have a problem with Webfusion. An ex-clent used them and they were fine.

Yeah they are tulipe. Partly the reason that I am with another provider for anything that I consider needed e.g. business stuff.

The only reason I'm with UK2 is that they provide 2gb of mysql data which the satellite tracker on the bike needs as it produces a heck of a lot of data.

As its not a complex site all the source code is on this machine where I make the changes and push it upto the site. The logs are also here so I can re upload the tracks - so an easy fix.

UK2s response is "well you've deleted the files so how can we tell when it happened" when I asked them if Cpanel creates a log when it creates new users they didn't know. In the end I tracked down the ip that the login came from 2 days ago. Suprise suprise its spoofed.

Ah well time to move provider!

I don't use the username / password for anything else and its fairly impossible to brute force so my best guess is the tulipty cpanel they use has holes in it.

At least MyCo site/e-mail is with a proper host and protected.

Could well be CPanel hs been hacked. UK2 are pretty poor for support IMO and I do not use them for hosting for this reason. They have always appeared to be a bit of a "budget" host from my POV and with hosting you usually get what you pay for Hope it does not take you long to clean up bit if your FTP service has holes in it then there is a good chance you will be done over again as soon as you think the problem has been sorted.
