Web Site Security

I have recently learned that creating and publishing a website is the easy
part. Knowing how to secure and protect your information is the real
challenge. I am using FP 2003 with tables and a Access database. I have a
form on the site where information is collected and stored to what I thought
was one file on my domain host. I began to notice that my files in _htdocs
began to grow, including files I did not create or publish. I then found
that my website has been copied and republished by more than one hacker.
With countless hours of research I have found that there are thousands of
pages that teach a person how to hack a FP website, but very few that
describe how to detect or prevent it. Can anyone help or give advice on how
to detect and prevent this? As a pay per click customer I can assure you
that the major search engine companies do not seem motivated about prevening
this. Thank You and May God Bless You...RH Christian Debt Consultants
 
If your host is going to be sloppy about security, there's not much you can
do about it other than changing to a reputable host that specializes in
Windows-based hosting.
