I looked at my index.html and sure enough-there was a little javascript on the bottom of the page that I didn't put there.
What vulnerability exists that would allow this? Is it server side?
I called my host-ipowerweb-and they said "Admins are aware if it"
Very helpful.
Anyone know how-or if-I can guard against this in the future? It seems to have occurred while I was uploading pages via ftp, but none of the loaded pages were affected.....
?
The problem is that your web-hosting firm has been hacked (rooted) and has gotten a script that modifies each and every page - at least every 'index.html' page - that their customers upload to their accounts.
As Izakl states: If they are just 'aware' of it, it's definitely time to switch provider - the sooner the better. Any webhosting firm that gets hacked isn't worth the money you spend on them.
