I have had customers tell me that their card was hacked after using our site. I tried with my own card and it was hacked.
I dug around and found the pp_pro.php file was hacked with one line that sends $request() to a hacker.
I am not sure how they did this as even the last modified date didn't change.
Anyone have this happen to them? how did you secure the site? my host isn't very helpful
thanks
File modifications as such should be reported to your host for network activities. Not an OC issue even though the version you are currently using is pretty old.

444 would be the lease but not effective for all PCI servers. However, since we're looking at a network attack enquiry, contacting your host would be the best option.

The host is blaming OpenCart, saying it's not secure. I'm really not sure who to believe.
But this is what I have: https://www.getastra.com/blog/911/how-t ... ware-hack/
and it's not getting fixed no matter what i do.

If it's what you have and worry about security issues, using integrated platforms into Opencart or vice-versa is unsupported on the forum since it includes this reason and this reason on being about security issues outside the scope of Opencart. If your host mentions that Opencart is not safe, it's because no mention has been provided to them regarding integrated platforms. Which is why, using remote APIs / Webservices are the best option via SSL so to avoid high levels and potential risks through the network. Since Magento does not provide those services, at least not out of the box, not an issue with Opencart period.xaappx1 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:31 amThe host is blaming OpenCart, saying it's not secure.

Have you changed all your passwords? OpenCart admin, Hosting control panel, all FTP accounts, etc. Poor or stolen passwords is a common method of gaining access. Delete any unused accounts, such as FTP account you have given out to developers or for extension support.
A few other thing you could do.
Compare the files on your server to a clean version of the same version of OpenCart or a original backup. See if any files have been added that give access to your site.
Look through your web access logs for any suspicious activity around the time the hack was added.
Look through your servers FTP logs for any access that isn't you. You may need to ask your host for these.

I've had this problem before. I always use Crawlprotect now on any Opencart based site I build. Crawlprotect is currently no longer being maintained but even the last build works really well at stopping hacks.
I would clean out all your hacked files, reset all the site folder and file permissions to 755 and 644 respectively then install Crawlprotect and keep that up to date via its own control panel at least weekly but daily if you can.
Also, if you can manage it maybe upgrade your OC to 1.5.6.5.
