Recently I had seen more bluehost users posted in bluehost forum, stating that their bluehost hosted website had been hacked. Various Bluehost web site hacking had been reported, which including .htaccess redirection to hacker site, modification of php.ini files, insertion of HTML content into index.html, iframe embeding into index.html webpage, etc.
This is a major concern for me as well, if there is any vulnerability in bluehost server, I would like the bluehost support team to get it patched. If we think from bluehost side, bluehost support team is excellent in maintaining a good hosting server. There is no doubt for cPanel security and safety as well. At this point, I assume bluehost support had performed the necessary server maintenance and taken the security measures.
Over 90% of website hacked is caused by weak user account login and password. The remaining reason this caused by the party website script that is vulnerable and having security hole. For an example, a hacker can exploit your textbox or web-form and injected SQL into your database, or they can inject HTML code into your web files. Another entrance for hackers is through FTP login, once they gain access, they will be able to change your web files in any means.
Thus, is important to secure your own hosting account and as well your ftp login. Make sure your password is 8 Character long and having combination of alphanumeric, Numbers, and symbol. safeguard your own login information. Finally, make sure your website script is updated with the latest version of script released. These are the best way to protect your website from being attacked again.
