False Positive ? qrjuice.com
« on: December 22, 2011, 10:51:01 PM »
A site that I receive RSS feeds from has started showing up as having a Trojan however the name seems to change. I have tried contacting the site in question  qrjuice.com  however no response.

I'm wondering if this is just a false positive. Appreciate any feedback and comments.

thanks

Thank you for that swift reply.

Apologies for my late reply, I didn't see an alert that someone had responded already.

I'll upload a screen within the day.

thanks

The site in question is owned by me. QrJuice.com.

Whilst most of this conversation has gone completely over my head, I can tell you the malware has been removed.

Hi you siteowner,

Your site may be clean(sed) now, there is still an alert that your Wordpress version is outdated according to sucuri's: Wordpress internal path: /home/qrjuice/public_html/wp-content/themes/Polished/index.php
That means you could be re-infected again, other recommendations is for the website server. That server gives away a full version number of the server software. This should be avoided, so would-be-hackers would not know what exploits would work against it. It is a bit like in Little Red Ridinghood's fairytale - just pull the cord hanging out the door and you can come in...and then they could,

Stay safe and secure is the wish of,
