Title: Security breach on my website or hosting server under attack
Post by: StefanSultanov on August 09, 2014, 11:18:47
Here is what I started to receive after attempting to send an email through ul.find@webrilliant.co.uk.
This is a mailbox associated with my Elxis Nautilus website.
I found the user in my users list and deactivated it.
What else can I do to protect myself and the website users?
How can I get my email back?
Can somebody tell where is the security problem and what is this hack trying to do?
My guess is that this is a register form abuse because of the end of the letter.
But I don't understand the 90% of the stuff below.

Thanks!

I don't see anything wrong... There is no security breach, just a usual user registration. You have enabled users registration and so someone got registered with name carpinteyroefj guangjopYB and email blocec [at] mai1webrilliant.co.uk.com. That e-mail address does not exist and so you got a return by your mail server to the sender account (ul.find [at] webrilliant.co.uk). The user off course inserted into the database as he was registered. But if he didn't clicked the activation link (which he didn't as the email he gave was wrong) he never got activated. BTW his IP address is listed in stop forum spam (http://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/172.246.129.194) which means that he is a spammer. If you don't want users to register in your site then disable user registration.


Suggestion: Don't write email addresses in clear text in public because you will get alot of spam! So edit your message and remove or change the email addresses.
