Hello Guys,
My name is Murtala, i work with smartweb Nig ltd, I want to tell the public that there is nothing wrong with smartweb server and if you are having issue with your website is not loading then please submit a ticket to ticket@smartwebng.com so that we can check your issue and resolve it.

Secondly Our Office phone are not going since from 08 January 2011 Due to the crisis in Jos, you need to know smartweb office is located in jos, and is not secured for our staff to go to the office. i believe you should heard the news about the recent crisis in jos.
Therefor none of our staff can go to office and all the office phone are off.

During crisis normally some of our staff work from home but will give you support through email only.

Due to the recent crisis in Jos the management of smartwebng.com has decided to move out our office from Jos, hopefully February.

We sincerely apologize for this, by now things have started getting normal in jos but still the banks, offices and business places are close but we are hopping to resume office on 13th or 14th of January 2011.
Thanks you all.

Hi,
I live in Jos and i know everything that happen, you need to know that is not only two places that this bomb happen but is three, the third place is where the majority are Muslim but thank God it has not exploid but there is an exhange of fire betwen the military and those that want to detonate the bomb, the governor himself said that is not Muslims that put this but some opposition that put all this bomb and they have evidence for that.

The must important is the life that is been lost either is christian or Muslim, is a piety this is happening in our dear country, it happen in Borno, Bauchi, Jos, Abuja, Niger delta.
We need to realize that politician are just using us for their interest.
This is very sad, condemning the religious will not solve the issue but just pray for peace in our country.
Than you all

Hi,
It will be difficult to know who design GTB website but i know is a joomla website which is common you can try this link

And you will see that they are using Joomla.


For the Hosting the are using Godaddy and they added more security to it like SSL and use a dedicated server for its own website you can have more details on any website you want to know who is hosting the site by visiting http://www.whoishostingthis.com/

Hello Guys,
My name is Murtala M my nick name is ibtihaj, i work with smartwebng.com and i am a Linux Certified Network Administrator which i know much about sever and hacking issues.
I am the one that handle the hacking Issue of www.247nigeria.com which i reply him with the quote he posted in this forum, i saw the comments that some members posted in this forum which i decided to post this knowledge on hacking and how to prevent it.

I talk about (the logs for the time of the compromise appear to have rotated off of the server already) what i mean with this is that the hacker clean up the logs after he has uploaded his index since he has access to the site, 90% of hackers clean up the logs after they finish what they wan to do.

I want you to understand that any website in the world can be hacked but that does not mean you will not put all the necessary security in your server.

Some of popular websites that we know are being hacked eg:

Google.com is hacked you can read the article here: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/01/14/2010-01-14_security_experts_china_hacked_google_to_steal_us_defense_secrets.html

Facebook.com is hacked the link is here: http://thecurrentaffairs.com/facebook-hacked-by-turkishbbc-facebook-lossfacebook-page-hacked-by-turkish-muslimfacebook-drawn-muhammad-s-w-a-day.html

FBI is been Hacked the link is here: http://www.infoworld.com/d/security-central/fbi-gets-hacked-video-blogger-sacked-411

My main reason of posting this is to tell the public how they can prevent their website from Hacking.

How can I prevent hacking?

1. The most important thing to do is keep your passwords a secret. If you must give a password to someone, be sure to change it when they are done using the access. Don't write your passwords down or share them with too many people. Periodically change your passwords. You can find more by searching "How can I make a stronger password?"

2. Along the same idea, you need to make sure your personal computer does not have viruses, trojans, keyloggers, etc.

3. Keep your scripts and downloaded programs updated. Always upgrade to the latest version of your blog, forum, shopping cart, etc.

4. Do not have writable file permissions. The correct permissions are normally 755 or 644, and you can check these in your File Manager. Most users know to avoid 777 permissions, but you really want to avoid any permission settings which allow Group and World writing. (That's anything ending in 7, 6, 3, or 2. The first number can be one of these, but not either of the last two numbers.)

That's all for now
