Title: Somebody has hacked into my Host - and charged my credit card illegally
Post by: REDACTED on December 07, 2017, 04:34:00 AM

Recently somebody hacked into my Hostgator dashboard (Dec 1) - reset my password - made a charge against my credit card on file for the domain name MOCLEAKSFORUM.com plus another charge. (total 2 charges)

Hostgator did an IP address lookup

System 2017-12-01 05:49:36 Customer (185.51.229.219) - Changed Password

Which seems to be linked to:

Hostname:   185.51.229.219

ISP:   AVAST Software s.r.o.

Is it possible that you used a paid version of Avast ??? Even a trial version of a paid product ???
If so, unless you disabled auto renewal, this charge may be for the renewal of that product.
This is just one possibility.
